My T is a psychologist and at times we pull out a DBT worksheet and a lesson if it applies to what we are working on in therapy. She will give it to me as homework and we discuss it or the effects of doing or not doing it at our next session. It is a good way for me to not have to "take a course" and still get some of the benifits with my own T.
Some of the skills are really helpful to work on, but I would never do them without my T who knows what's going on with me and if I get triggered she is there to help with that.
Just my thoughts
