Group therapy like DBT - experiences anyone?

[rileyrose]

I wonder if anyone has experiences of any kind of group therapy or DBT. I was recently prescribed a DBT group and individual treatment, which I understand originally is created for people with Borderline. I feel that BPD is a complete opposite of SA or AVPD. How do therapists make group therapy or DBT in particular work for other psychiatric illnesses?

I had never heard of DBT, it sounds very interesting from a quick read. I have done groups sessions for something else before and felt very awkward in them.
