"Among other things, DBT teaches that there are five options for solving any problem: 1. Solve the problem (change the situation); 2. Fell better about the problem (change or regulate your emotional response); 3. Tolerate the problem; 4. Stay unhappy; or 5. Make things worse. Once you've decided on how you want to deal with the problem, DBT offers a variety of skills to achieve your goal."

I find this sort of thing to be incredibly condescending from those therapist guys- of course these are the choices one has. Who does not know that - and I never find having the obvious stated to be useful for me.
