Hey. I did DBT for one year a few years back now... I remember that I really hated group at the time. Didn't like the other group members very much and had trouble with the skills trainers and stuff... But it did help. I didn't realise just how much the skills helped me until later.

I agree that I've never felt like people have invested so much in trying to help me as I've felt doing DBT. That made a *whole heap* of difference to me. I'd do things for my t when I couldn't seem to do them for myself...

I learned a lot. A great deal. I don't meet criteria for BPD anymore :-)

It is hard work... But if you find you have a good fit with your individual therapist then it is a worthwhile thing to do indeed. And the group therapy... Well... I did grow rather fond of the others over time... And I was pretty sad when it came time to stop going.

Yeah, I reckon it is worth it :-)
