One thing about DBT and meditation. You need to practice it regularly and almost religiously to get the maximum results. You may feel like you're getting nothing from it at the beginning, but don't stop. It takes a while to realize what you're supposed to be doing. It's not an over night fix. It's not like an appliance that you can instantly say it doesn't work and toss aside. I did it for a few months before I saw any real benefit, but you will see benefits if you keep it up.
