I've done dbt ad nauseum for three years now. It takes a lot of practice but it really is useful. I'm tired of hearing about it because I've been through it so many times but even for bipolar it's helpful. I've found it won't help if I'm completely out of touch with reality, which is why my first round failed so spectacularly, but for every day emotion management it's good. I've done some cbt too and I like dbt better. Just keep an open mind when you go in. Some of the stuff seems kind of new agey but it's helpful.
