I attended DBT classes for about 2 years. We met every other week for 2 hours. It was great. I met some great people and the teacher/leader was wonderful. DBT skills can help you in so many ways. I particularly like the Mindfulness section. Each class had some sort of Mindfulness exercise at the start (it was not just sitting there meditating). Then the teacher would discuss a topic/skill from the book. At the end we would do a round table where everyone would bring up something they may be struggling with and we would collectively offer suggestions based on DBT skills. It was all voluntary, no one forced you to participate if you did not want to.
Based on previous responses, I would definitely only attend one that is led by someone well trained in DBT. Mine was a psychiatric nurse who had many DBT certifications. Also, it is a big commitment. At minimum you need to plan on attending 6-12 months to get the most out of it. However, the time is well spent and will teach you skills that will serve you for a lifetime. |
