I love my DBT group. Honestly I like it better than individual therapy in a way. I am shy but the group doesn't stress me out because it is so much like a class. They never make us share anything we don't want to and some people hardly talk at all. What I think is better about it than learning the skills one on one is that I get to benefit from other people's questions and other people's answers about things. There have been a couple of times when someone in the group has been able to explain a skill in a way that the therapists weren't able to and I actually understood it. Also, the mindfulness exercises are often fun and interesting. And I feel less "sick" if that makes any sense. I know everyone else is there because they have problems although I don't know what they are and so it feels more equal. In individual therapy I sometimes feel like the therapist is better than me. It probably isn't her intent at all, but sometimes I do.
