I was in a DBT group for a little over a year.
I think my insurance covered most of it.
I hated group. I was 17/18 at the time and the group was for adolescents and parents because I was still in high school. But I was the oldest member in group (besides the parents, of course!), everyone else was around 13-15. They were incredibly immature and I felt like they always wanted to hog the attention of the group leaders. They formed cliques in group and I was always the one left out.
We never talked about anything heavy in group, it was more of a learning group. All of our trauma stuff was worked out with our individual therapist. All in all, the stuff they taught us in group was helpful. But the group itself. No. I hated it and I'm glad that I made it out alive.
