I did it via email so I can't really comment on the group situation bit. I thought the skills were really handy. Even though I don't really have an issue with the stuff that the skills cover, its the sort of stuff that I will keep sitting there in my email and if the need arises i will go right back to those emails. Stuff like what to do when you have something come up and you are freaking out - it shows you how to calm yourself down and be ok in the present moment. In my opinion there is a lot of stuff there to help you reassure yourself "I am ok right now".
