Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I walk away from conflicts having caved again
• Going into this hard conversation I want it all at once
• When the pressure builds in a conversation, I cave on something I actually believe in just to make the discomfort stop
• I "won" the argument — I got exactly what I was after — but I walked away with a sour feeling, because I got it by needling them and bending the truth, and I’m realizing whether I got my way isn’t actually the question I should be asking; it’s whether I can respect how I behaved to get it.
• I bend over backwards to be fair to everyone else and then quietly leave myself out of the equation entirely

DBT as a whole has strong RCT evidence; the interpersonal module is integral to that evidence base.
