Anyone know whether/where CBP is available?

the best thing you can do is check for which places have published on the topic of CBP -- the Trauma Centre at the Justice Research Institute -- van der Kolk's stomping ground

here's a straightforward Google search result

also attaching a brief description of the program, and related training programs

Well I appreciate the help, but frankly this information would be much more useful if I were a therapist looking for instruction or papers to read than my situation looking for a list of trained therapists to pick from. It really does sound as if the answer to my own question "am I too early?" is "yes" but let's see if there are other responses.

I think you might be best served by making use of the collaborative working relationship you've developed with your existing therapist to access this type of therapy. (admittedly, I'm just an administrator of this type of service -- but not in your country).

Your current therapist, who I presume has worked through something like a functional analysis of all of your presenting, and likely, co-existing, problems, and not just your dissociation, could discuss, with reference to the Case Formulation of your sitation, the strengths and limitations of each type of therapy -- as they pertain to you specifically. Your therapist could then contact the clinical director, Rick Greenwald, at the TC at JRI -- the place which developed CBP, and provides extensive training in it -- and obtain the list of therapists in your locale who have received certification in the use of this therapy.

I certainly don't think it's "too early" -- CBP has been around a while now -- but whether or not it's suitable FOR YOU, and available NEAR YOU remain the important questions to have answered -- something best done by your existing therapist after discussion with Dr Greenwald and his staff.

Unfortunately, I think it's likely that the efficacy of this therapy is but one of the important clinical questions as to its suitability for you, due to those likely co-existing problems.

I guess whether CBP has "been around for awhile now" depends a lot on what area you live in (I'm thinking Paul from the URL of the search request you included you're in New Zealand?), here on the west coast USA I'd be REAL hard-pressed to find any therapist who has even HEARD of the approach. It's my understanding that there's a book coming out "soon" on Guilford Press (don't bother calling them, it's not even on their radar screen yet let alone can they give a release date) titled "Reaching Across the Abyss: Treating Adult Survivors of Emotional Abuse and Neglect" and Dr. Spinazzola is a co-author (I was able to confirm this with a call to Trauma Center), and fortunately I know a therapist or two who I think would be willing to read it and maybe take a seminar when it DOES come out. Thanks for the help anyway.
