Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome!

I can start a DBT group program in a couple weeks. In fact, my therapist in the day program is making it a condition of me getting one last week in the program.

I'm not sure what to do, though. My alternative is a therapist who has agreed to see me as frequently as daily. She has some background in DBT, but is more CBT and goals focused.

I've read through the DBT skills manual, and had classes in Distress Tolerance and Emotional Regulation during my group program. I'm also just finishing 6 weeks straight of group therapy.

For those who have had DBT, did the group meeting help the most? What do you think of near-daily individual therapy as an alternative. The oddity is that the individual therapy is free until the end of the year, but DBT is about $1200/month.
