I am in DBT. It is very helpful to me.

Rather than questioning what brought us there, we are learning healthier ways to deal with the pain and avoid hurting others/ourselves. We refer to incidents somewhat vaguely, as we are to discuss "triggers" in private therapy with our T.

Sometimes, triggers are brought up in group ~ and almost all of us become very emotional, and the group facilitators gently work to get us grounded and remind us to use mindful techniques to stay grounded.

My group is very kind and supportive. We do care about one another. That helps me put my guard down and speak honestly. Facing my old skeletons in the closet is very new & I hope to finally gain acceptance.

That's my experience anyway.
