DBT is dialectical behavior therapy and I have tried it. I'm no way an expert on it, but in my humble opinion it involves thinking of alternatives to your behaviors instead of just acting. Transference is when you have behaviors and ways of feeling from your past, (concrete events that have happened to you to shape you) that you bring with you into the present. For example, if you had a significant other who constantly berated you and you're in therapy, you feel especially vulnerable to criticism. You might feel constantly berated by your therapist, even though they are not doing this. Ways of "seeing" transference is by paying attention to recurrent themes, problems, and feelings in therapy - or with anyone for that matter. Don't know if this muddled it for you, but I hope it helps.

Depending on context, transference can mean just about anything from feelings for your therapist that are really caused (transferred) to your therapist from other important people in your life to any feeling you feel for your therapist. And example of the first definition would be if you reacted to your therapist as if she were your mother (maybe because she reminded of your mother in some way).
DBT is dialectical behavior therapy, a variant of cognitive behavior therapy invented by Marsha Linehan for chronically suicidal patients. It combines cognitive behavior therapy and elements of Eastern mindfulness and other practices.

i think my "t" would rather not tell me much about dbt(i read it in my chart)..

maybe i will drop it for now..see if i make it to the other side..

I think you kinda said it, "too much knowledge" can work against one. The more I read, the more it seems like i lose perspective. I usually end up intellectualizing it. Remember, they are just theories and labels. There are even controversies over them. You are a real person.

But DBT is the kind of thing that is more effective if you know about it and are working on it. I don't know why a therapist wouldn't want to talk about it.
