has anyone tried ACT- acceptance and commitment therapy? i've been trying a lot of self-help DBT resources lately and they've been great. but i've been really struggling to deal with the fact that i know my symptoms are going to be around for a while, if not forever to some degree. so someone pointed me in the direction of ACT techniques, and in looking into it i'm really surprised that i've never seen it mentioned as a potential therapy for BPD. given that a big part of DBT is acceptance, it seems to me like the two therapies should be quite compatible.

especially because another big part of ACT seems to be identifying values and goals and helping to lead a meaningful life. and as someone who struggles big time with the emptiness and no sense of identity parts of BPD, that seems like an ideal thing to try

I'm considering getting an ACT self-help book and treating it as like, an extension of my DBT. but i'm hesitating purely because I've never seen it suggested before as something that works for BPD. so does anyone have any experience with it and/or knows if that would be a good or bad idea??
