Hello, I have just been approved to start DBT too, I'm waiting on my start date which should be in about 6 months. I have been told that it is one on one therapy, group therapy which I'm personally freaking out about and then telephone support to help us apply the therapy in real life. By what I have read on web sites mainly ones assessing DBT it seems to be about recognising bad behaviours then teaching yourself to do the opposite our brains tell us to do. My first impression was that it was just a cost effective way to treat as many as possible in one go but there is a lot of support out there on the web that this is the treatment of future and most effective for complicated people with complicated problems that have been resistant to typical treatments. I was also told it was not going to be about trauma therapy but teaching me how to manage my emotions first so that I can handle the trauma work which if I show signs of improvement they will add extra time on at the end. As to how they go about doing this I'm clueless as not started yet. I hope that helps you a little but I will be watching for how people respond to your question myself.
