I did DBT a few years ago. I can say now that I loved it. At the time, I liked it but fought it too. It is a very demanding therapy.
There were many skills therapists and I liked about half of them. I really liked my individual therapist and she was the leader of the group so she was well trained in DBT and was doing the supervision and training for the other therapist.
If you want to give it try, look for therapists that are well trained. Also, if you don't like the group approach, you might be able to find an individual therapist that can meet your needs and adapt the DBT program. But to do that, the therapist need to know a lot about DBT.

So worked great for me, and I think because the therapist I had was awesome, which made it even better and more effective.

Good luck!
