At the end of the day, therapy is just an attempt to help someone with a problem. I think we've all experienced a well-intentioned person who made things worse, and it shouldn't be surprising that someone attempting to follow a formula like CBT or DBT or ACT or whatever, might still be the opposite of helpful. I like and have benefitted from some of these frameworks, but none of them is a silver bullet.
