I attended DBT group, once a week, for over a year, I think, along with seeing my T 3 times a week. I do not see ANYTHING in DBT that is incompatible with any kind of therapy. If anything, it's like cross-training your physical exercise, where DBT is anatomy and weight-training, and your T is your aerobics workouts. Why would you stop doing aerobics? Those body builders can be a little single minded!

You just learn a lot of STUFF in DBT about emotions. I don't see how it is incompatible, except, I BET YOU, dollars to donuts, somebody is trying to PROVE something, that the DBT protocol works better than psychotherapy, and you are being caught in the middle. If not a research grant, then the insurance company, so they will only pay for DBT here on out, and not psychodynamic psychotherapy, because now they have "proof", and to get that proof, they need you doing only the one kind of therapy. It REALLY sux that they would treat you like this. I would get the media involved, it's a coverup. I am sure you're not the only one. Okay, maybe I'm paranoid, but DBT is just a bunch of dam books. It's just knowledge. How does TALKING TO ANOTHER PERSON HURT???
