Hi. I've attended quite a number of group therapy sessions in general - not DBT though - but I'd have to say, yes, usually at some stage during the session the group facilitator will allow people to talk, release what's in their minds, or ask questions etc. If people begin to 'cross talk' or jump in at random, it may seem a bit chaotic or disorganized but it's probably quite difficult for the facilitator to control every aspect. But on the whole I'd say it is quite normal yes, but if it's happening throughout the entire session, I wouldn't say that was normal, no. The group facilitator tries to make sure things run smoothly.
