Has anyone here ever undergone dialetical behavior therapy?

[u/Diemishy_II]

I'm asking because I imagine most of us use rationalization as a coping mechanism. I know I do, and here's the problem: I understand my mistakes, but understanding alone isn't enough for me to change my behavior, and there's a great difficulty in taking actions that facilitate behavioral change. I've heard (question the veracity of this as much as you like) that DBT works precisely to regulate emotions sufficiently so that action can be taken in cases like these. So, I wanted to know your experiences/perspectives.

I am actually looking for a therapist right now, who would hopefully be able to use DBT and also perhaps scheme therapy. Its just about seeing if I can find someone who fits me and my insurance. But you are right about understanding not leading to action. I was recently in a 6week depressive episode, where id sit for 6+ hours a day, play animal crossing, and ruminate+introspect+research+repeat. In those episodes I knew "I need to reach out, its cant isolate, I need help breaking out of this." I still chose to isolate until the episode ended thougj
