Mostly DBT is about regulating emotions and learning and applying life skills. I have a difficult time with anxiety, depression, and feeling overwhelmed. DBT has been helping me take it one day at a time. Also, there are just loads of skills. Such as, "Improving the moment," is one. When I wake up I usually feel very overwhelmed. So I work on doing things to help me feel less overwhelmed. Since I am in the middle of a move I need to prioritize what needs to be done. However, a hot bath relaxes me so sometimes I will start out the day with a hot bath. It seems to relax my muscles which get very tense. I also try "Riding the emotion like a wave," which means if I feel sadness or fear instead of changing it I just let it roll out. This is tricky, though, and you might also need to practice "changing the emotion" by doing something different. I have about an hour right now before I start the day's tasks. So I am going to take a hot bath, get dressed comfortably, write in my journal for about 10 minutes, take out the trash and go to my corner cafe for take-out coffee. There are tons of skills to learn in DBT...the best way is to go online and read about them, and to invest in purchasing a workbook. You can also do a program and/or work with a DBT trained therapist, but those aren't options for me at this time. Good Luck.
