DBT? Anyone tried?

I’ve come across DBT which is dialectical behaviour therapy

It does look interesting:

One reservation I have is:

DBT incorporates many of the techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

CBT is one approach that does not typically work well for most autists unfortunately, but if you find it is effective then it has to be worth looking into further. I do note that it is an adaptation of the CBT approach as CBT has limited effectiveness for many in its native form.

From what I have read it requires a trained therapist as part of the work so this may limit its attractiveness to some (because of cost or the interaction part).

It would be great to hear from othes about their experiences with this technique from an autists perspective.
