Actually Mindfulness is about seeing the big picture & combining your logical & emotional mind for determining the appropriate action you need to take to deal with the issues you need to handle in your life that are causing you problems.
Meditation is a skill used to control distress & emotions.
DBT skills are skills that most people never learned growing up but are the common sense ways of handling the crap that life throws at us....yes, it was initially developed with Borderline in mind.....but the skills are skills that even people without mental illness are in need of to handle their life.....people with more of those skills have a less likely hood of having situational issues bother their mental health. Sadly, most parents didn't know the skills themselves or they had no concept of how to teach their children about them.
In my experience with DBT, I have seen it work wonders with my depression, anxiety & PTSD.....I have seen it work wonders with Bipolar & Borderline.....in reality....there isn't anyone in this world who can't use these common sense skills for living life more fully.
