The DBT program I used was in a group setting, which was great for discussion. It's research has shown that intellectual individuals benefit most from it. The basic idea is that there are three states of mind: logical mind, wise mind, and emotional mind. Logical minds over-analyze and make their decisions based on the rational facts. Emotional minds make their decisions based on the way they feel, and wise mind is a healthy combo of the two. I've found the principles have overlapped with Buddhist meditation methods and such.

I would definitely recommend it, however be cautious in where you choose to go for it, and make sure it's right for you :) Good Luck!

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is one of the core concepts behind all elements of DBT. Mindfulness is the capacity to pay attention, non-judgmentally, to the present moment. Mindfulness is all about living in the moment, experiencing one's emotions and senses fully, yet with perspective. It is considered a foundation for the other skills taught in DBT, because it helps individuals accept and tolerate the powerful emotions they may feel when challenging their habits or exposing themselves to upsetting situations. The concept of mindfulness and the meditative exercises used to teach it are derived from traditional Buddhist practice, though the version taught in DBT does not involve any religious or metaphysical concepts.

Here is a good link to the Buddhist practice of mindfulness through meditation.
