We have discussed IFS before and I mentioned that the literature suggests that it does not work well with those with borderline traits because they fight moving to the Self, because all their parts want to get their needs met.
You fight moving to the Self all the time.
The reason you think this is working more is because you are getting what you "want" from your T. It is not changing your pattern.
Usually DBT is done with a DBT therapist and a DBT group. A DBT therapist is trained in the methods. The group is used for skills development.

One thing that might be kept in mind is if one does not like or approve of how someone else does therapy, it is okay -you can do yours differently. They get to do theirs and you get to do yours. From what I have read, each dyad is different. I fully admit I don't understand what most others here do with their therapists and rarely feel like others approach it like I do. But that is okay. It is interesting and
useful for me to read how others do it or their feelings about it.
But there is not one right way to almost anything and certainly not therapy.
