DBT is for people with borderline personality disorder.

Not saying it might not help you, but it's really designed for this other "condition".

From the little I know about derealization/depersonalization some form of grounding can be helpful--like when you feel it coming on find a way to connect with yourself at a physical level, like watching your breathing like they do in meditation, or just allowing yourself to feel your muscles, or notice other physical sensations.
