I went through a treatment similar to this for my disorders so since I understand DBT best that will be the type of therapy used in this book, and I'll explain it in the chapter, also this is chronologically before the groupchat so I will switch the order when this gets published

After the rather volatile introductions the psychiatrist simply continued the session, disregarding the now unconscious Yoongi and Jeongguk.

"Now that we're all acquainted, I'm going to walk you guys through the treatment, and some of you may already be familiar with this from inpatient, but in this group we will be using Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. We will focus on managing emotions and improving interpersonal relationships, but these strategies can also curb compulsions and the strict schedule will help us monitor different behaviors."

"Bitch!"

"Thank you for the invaluable input Taehyung. There are four components to DBT: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotion Regulation. This group lasts a minimum of twelve weeks, but if we don't see improvement you will stay in the program longer. While in therapy you can bring your problems but insults to each other and vivid descriptions of episodes is prohibited. Any questions before we get started?"

"I really have to exist near these peasants?"

"Hey!"

"Yes Seokjin, yes you do."

"Damn."

"Fuck!"

"Hey, don't try to one up me spaz!"

The chapters will be longer from here, I just wanted to introduce the type of therapy. I still have my binder from my outpatient stint full of DBT stuff, and it was honestly why I am who I am today, so I guess that is why I want to really explain it to y'all
