Thank you everyone for your input. You all have reassured me. And I feel somewhat better as I continue to think about if I want to go ahead and try this. What made me concerned is that when I researched online about CBT and DBT something called "operant conditioning" kept popping up and a large number of the articles that talked it also said this is used as a punishment/reward system. Maybe, that is mainly for people who are at residential facilities though? The first thing I thought of was "okay, so if I say something wrong, I get time out or lose TV? hahahahahaha. Plus I have a little issue with giving up control, but I'm working on it. Thank you all for easing my mind.
