I never argued against this btw.

That's true only by ease of implementation. What I'm really arguing against is "DBT is a good first approach compared to other psychotherapy approaches out there."
I'll just address the unaddressed core tensions all at once and state the fact that: if you actually want to be helpful without acting in harm, suggest Robert Moore (books, video lectures) instead of DBT. The elaboration I'm not going to elaborate further on (because you're to learn on your own) is: amygdala overload and fight/flight response are peak Warrior archetype territory; consciously approaching the negative state as a potential of constructive Warrior behavior is what, to be empirical, resulted in me properly (yes I'm confident) arguing this far intead of me just insulting you and trying to give you psychological damage because you had a potentially disastrous unaddressed implication.
All other approaches just do suppression, spiritual bypassing, intellectual bypassing, etc instead of facing the reality of the lived experience.
