1. This sounds suspiciously like ********
2. What the hell is the point of just endlessly accepting negative situations and crisis, by deflection? especially when past experience is such a good (not infallible but better than anything else) predictor of future experience.

I am not in DBT, but have been diagnosed with BPD. Your points would be valid as long as you don't have a skewed view of past experiences. I know that for me, at least, I can take two totally separate and unrelated events and see a cause and effect relationship of those events. In this type of thinking, I could miss the actual cause of the crisis or situation. This could make me believe that X would certainly recur, if I did Y, and make me avoid doing what may be a healthy activity.
