I just started doing DBT with a therapist. I've
only had one session so far, so I can't tell you
much about it. My therapist did say it differs
from cognitive b/c cognitive is very focused on
changing patterns. DBT is too, but not so intensely.
It also focuses on acceptance of and noticing (mindfulness) of
what is, rather than changing what is. It teaches
you skills on emotional distress tolerance, self soothing,
etc. I'll let you know when I learn more.
