It teaches how to recognize emotions & how to regulate them using skills & it also teaches how to deal with distress by building up a tolerance for it using skills.....also teaches interpersonal communicatins which is a good way of learning how to set up boundaries & learning functional ways to talk with other's to get your needs met or to determine if you can meet the needs of others who have asked.

I personally believe that even with DID.....it's still your brain that's functioning even if it's split into other alters....each could benefit from the concepts & I would think it would help with integration.....that's thinking from someone who has learned so much about how to live from DBT & it has truly freed my life
I've been doing DBT for a few years now for BPD and am getting there slowly but have only just been diagnosed with DID. It just really shocked us that everyone would be ignored? How can intergration happen every other part is ignored and not seen at all? I dont really understand how it would work and my T didnt elaborate either
