Since The Middle Path’s inception in 2016, the turtle has been the symbol most used and associated with our facilities. Turtles are a wonderful representation of how dialectical behavior skills can be used. Among the many examples of the way turtles mimic the use of DBT skills is that when a turtle is on its back, it begins to suffocate and as a response it uses all of its supports to persistently self-right. A ‘Bale’ is the term used to describe a gathering of turtles. The Bale Group Outpatient Therapy program is designed to be just that, a gathering of therapists, peers and supporters designed to help you self-right.
