I'm sorry if there is some where about dbt but i have a few questions in general if anyone has done this method.
Background if needed I have just recently entered therapy and i wanted to get help with more coping methods. My third session of therapy was the other day and we made a plan. Dbt is the plan. I want to get the book we'll be using so i can read it, t said that be a good idea. Any ways i haven't yet but maybe this coming check. But i've been reading sites about dbt. I'm reading that usually t and client meet weekly and also a group.
Well one i'm scheduled to see t biweek as of now (county help and she's over booked). And it only last till march (county doesn't do continue therapy any more as in the past).

I figured i'll still give this a try even though it's not exactly to a t on how it's layed out to work per readings but i just was wondering if success would be better with weekly with dbt?
Maybe me reading more on it i can get an idea. I like hat it uses buddhist ideals in it and mindfull thinking and perspective thinking too and hope i can get something out of it even if t isn't much. As in she doesn't have full time to talk i feel rushed in a way but i'm trying to get what i can out of it. I also forget and most of the time i do mean i generally forget, to mention things or the full story (ie yesterday my paranoia with some thing) i write a summary for myself before i go in to t, i may start pulling them out to remember better.

I know i myself have to put in but my question is- will dbt really be effective if t is too busy and i feel rushed in sessions and they are biweek as well.
Just wondering on any one's thoughts. I've been here and there with going to therapy and i'm going to try to stick to it i guess in a way this question is part of my doubt of wasting time with this t. I do wish i could afford private therapy but That's not in the picture now and i'm trying best with this of what i can.

Idk about group sessions any ways i don't know how i'd do in something like that.
