I tried it for several months. I hated it, the workbook, the colloquialisms, the facilitator narrating every week. I felt stupid because I couldn't "get" it. Mind you I was new to DBT, and the group I was put into had been doing it for some time, so I was trying to absorb things without them being explained to me.

I am going into this two week residential program that uses DBT, but they use several other tactics as well. That I think I can handle.
