Begun as an attempt to recover and build a life post-DBT, Dialectic Dichotomy has been sitting quietly for a couple of years as I continued to grow. This blog is now a combination of the tools that I use to aid my recovery, the thoughts that I battle or that help me grow, and the ways I am building a life worth living as a woman dealing with the rammifications of many kinds of abuse, domestic violence, child loss, and life with mental illness.
