Yes, it's dumb, stupid, and a pain but I highly recommend the 6 month group version I did. It was online too so It helped with never leaving the house at that time

Honestly DBT groups did nothing for me. I used a couple workbooks I found in Amazon and they did so much better.

I had a really bad experience with my DBT group which resulted in my being sent to a short term residential on the other side of the country and learning first hand how much the troubled teen industry sucks. I’ve found help in a similar way to Adelis but to me it has a spiritual basis. I’ve liked the shadow work prompts I’ve found a lot.

dbt can be done in group or individual sessions and one may work for you and the other not. it can also depend on your provider, if you have a shitty provider then you're not gonna get anywhere. generally the individual sessions go through a workbook with you. other supporting therapies including ones for other conditions you may have can also be done in individual sessions, which is a bonus to those. group sessions have the bonus of meeting others who are struggling with similar things to you and learning from them. if one doesn't work for you i recommend trying the other! it may feel a bit patronizing but if you can make it your own, it can be a really powerful tool ::]

DBT can be a useful tool if you're not surrounded by narcissist people. I found myself trying to use the tools they gave me but trying to resolve an issue with a narcissist just put me back into depressed mode and isolated.
