I've done one year of DBT and my current therapist is very influenced by some of the DBT stuff (acceptance and mindfulness). Personally... I felt that it really helped me turn my life around.

It is a very intense program with once per week (or twice per week, depending on how it is run) group therapy and once per week individual therapy. I got on really well with my individual therapist, which helped things considerably. I didn't like attending group, but I certainly did learn a lot from it. When group finished I was actually sorry that it had finished.

I'm a big fan of DBT and I tend to suggest to people that they do the program if at all possible. There are other forms of therapy that are in a similar vein, but I guess that my personal experience has been with DBT.

A lot of it depends on how you get on with your individual therapist, I think. I was really lucky that we hit it off quite well.
