It brings in mindfulness and other skills training to help the person work with (rather than resist) intense emotions. These skills can be highly useful for most of us. http://tinyurl.com/on6v4vy mindfulness trains your brain to allow quietness inside + other gains.

Containment: Probably the main thing you would notice as different is that with dbt there is a requirement that you to go to both individual and group therapy. Dbt combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness largely derived from buddhist meditative practice. Best wishes.
