ACT and DBT

I recently completed the ACT Immersion course from Steven C. Hayes.  During one of the modules, Dr. Hayes answered a question about DBT and how it relates to ACT.  If my memory serves, his answer was something I suspected but has made me feel passionate to think more about. He said DBT skills are pretty much all compatible with psychological flexibility.  My "hexaflex" isn't correctly designed but that is a reflection of my microsoft word skills.  I found the most hexagon type of shape I could.  I am attaching this to see if anyone has any feedback or references to other resources on putting ACT and DBT together.  Using the practical DBT skills toward the well-thought out and effective psychological flexibility model.
