In this one, a DBT treatment centre talks about using MBT in addition to DBT:

Would there be other reasons for moving abroad, and for the place you would choose to move to, other than for therapy? Moving is indeed a big step, but that doesn't mean it's the wrong one.
If you're interested in having something 'more' than cognitive therapy but can't access MBT, there are other third wave cognitive therapies which are (imo) fantastic developments: compassion focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness based cognitive therapy... |
Thanks those links were very helpful; yes I have also been thinking of other reasons to move to the U.K., at least temporarily (there is a cross-cultural psych program I'm interested in in West London, but I'm not sure if I could handle the stress right now, even if I did it part-time [which would also entail spending two years there rather than one]).
Interestingly I did once meet with an English therapist in Amsterdam last year, in retrospect a little of what she did sounds MBT-related (asking me to imagine other people's feelings and motivations).
I'm not extremely attached to where I'm at right now, I'm living with family and not working so going somewhere far *might* be a good thing in and of itself.
