That I don’t know. Back when I was in therapy it was CBT in the beginning I had lots of trouble with it but it proved useful over the years. Everything I’ve read about DBT makes me wish it had been available back then.

I did learn to incorporate the cognitive changes but it took years. I don’t thing DBT is much different. It just takes effort and to keep plugging away at it until it becomes easier.

Sorry I have no better answer. Maybe someone here who’s had DBT can answer better.
