I'm just about to start a DBT group next week. My regular therapist has recommended it and pretty much insists I try it so I feel a bit pushed into it too but from what I've read it sounds good. At first I was freaking out about it (for many and complicated reasons) but lately I've been approaching the idea like this: "ya know, it's just a class to learn coping skills. That's all. No big deal. Everyone could benefit from having more ways to cope with stress, right? So what's the harm?" As long as I still get to go back to my regular therapist I'm cool with it. Im going to keep an eye on this thread too though. I think the OP raises some good points.
