Yes, I'm quite familiar with DBT. I was sent to many Intensive Outpatient Programs and they always seemed to want all women to do DBT, regardless of diagnosis. It was a "woman's program". Not sure why men didn't get DBT. Anyway, I do still value some of the DBT coping tools. However, I mostly just mentioned CBT because it more intensely challenges cognitive distortions. I think that's particularly helpful for anxiety and surely self-esteem issues, too. Catastrophising, black & white thinking, etc.
