Mind you, as a woman who self-harms I've not been offered DBT, and am unlikely to be offered it because I'm already in group therapy. I'll have a word with my psychiatrist at my March appointment though. Not that I'd want to leave the group because we're bonded...

I can see there being justification of having an all women group - particularly given the traumas BPDs have often suffered. It just seems a bit odd that there is no male equivalent. But I'll ask about it next week, as DBT has been brought up in the past.
If your group is going well it seems well worth sticking with it. It'll probably take a while for these guidelines to bed in anyway, so it may well be easier to get a place on DBT in the future should you wish to pursue it.
