I really like DBT, the more I learn about it. I'm learning a lot from Marsha Linehan's book, and posted some of what I learned on my blog. But, yeah, a lot of it is based on philosophy and Zen Buddhism. So maybe DBT isn't an appropriate topic for the forums. That's really too bad, because it has a lot to offer. But it might also be offensive since DBT does really push towards change and recovery and not staying stuck, and those are uncomfortable concepts for a lot of people too.

Religion is religion, and should not be discussed on mental health boards because YES, it makes some people uncomfortable.

To say that DBT may not be appropriate for this mental health board because it encourages people towards recovery, is to paint with a very broad brush, and to imply that most people here are not here to get better.

I disagree, and would sincerely ask that statements like that not be placed in what is to be a supportive environment. If you feel like that, and you know others that feel like that as well, as I suspect all of you do....... Could you all please discuss it in PM, amongst yourselves?
