I did a DBT group years ago and found it quite helpful, in part because I was in a group of people who all had similar negative coping strategies to me. I found I connected more with people in my DBT group than in most other group therapy that I've done.
The structure of the group was basically as follows:
1. mindfulness exercise.
2. Discussion of the skills practice (homework) from the previous week.
3. Leaning new skill
4. Discussion of some examples of new skill
or at least that's what I remember.
Hope you find DBT helpful.
