12. Lots of approaches 'work' and so one must wonder why?

why do unique disorders respond at least a little to disparate treatments? It seems at least in part because a gregarious animal in crises that cause dysfunction and damage to relationships often responds favorably to positive, stable relationships with therapists... apparently no one guessed that was important until recently

The mindfulness stuff is supposed to be independent of the religiousness and judgement, but it's not.Zinn, Linehan, etc are all practioners of the religion as well as involved in therapy. Turns out the very popular mindfulness as promoted for DBT is supposed to be non-judgemental, but when you encounter the training there is, gues what? a 'right way' of doing it, after all. Ironic non-judgemental mindfulness is judged. And it seems the right way has a lot to do with all the 'right' judgements along the 8-fold path.
