Grouport's prices don't change based on location, which makes it more accessible in expensive cities where in-person therapy is prohibitive. If an average of $103 per session is still tough on your budget for individual therapy, group therapy at $25-$35/session might work. You can also use HSA/FSA cards (pre-tax money), or do sessions every other week to save cost. The reality is mental health care costs money, but online options like Grouport make it less impossible for people in high-cost areas.

It varies a lot. Grouport's individual therapy costs less than traditional in-person therapy, which typically runs $150-$300+ per session depending on where you live. For example, Grouport’s individual therapy sessions average $103/session. Online group therapy is more affordable, Grouport's group therapy is $25- $35/session or $140/month total, that’s less than the cost of one in person individual therapy session. What surprises a lot of people is that self-pay rates are usually cheaper than going through insurance after you factor in copays and deductibles. Online platforms often cost less than in-person because there's no office overhead to pay for. Not to mention, Grouport offers discounts when you combine sessions together or are doing more than one session per week.

Suppressed anger builds up and it's important to diffuse the situation before it leads to an outburst. Therapy teaches healthy release before explosion and to express things constructively in a respectful manner.

Those traumas are valid. The right therapist and treatment plan helps you heal even from harmful past treatment experiences.

Therapists adapt. You don't need perfect focus for therapy to work. Most people manage therapy despite concentration problems and your therapist works with you where you are.

DBT works best with commitment, but some benefit comes from any participation. Many people start with intensive care and then reduce to a lower level once things improve. Minimally speaking you can see clinically significant results after 12-weeks of treatment, but most people who have BPD find that some sort of ongoing treatment to allow for maintaining your wellbeing is helpful.

Radical acceptance means completely accepting reality as it is, without fighting against it or demanding it be different. This doesn't mean approving of it or liking it, just acknowledging what's true. You radically accept things you can't change: past events, other people's choices, certain life circumstances, painful realities. The alternative to acceptance is suffering added to pain, you're in pain from the difficult reality, plus you're suffering from refusing to accept it. Radical acceptance reduces that extra suffering. It's one of the hardest DBT skills because your brain screams "this shouldn't be happening!" But reality doesn't care what should be, it is what it is. Acceptance allows you to stop wasting energy fighting unchangeable reality and start responding effectively.

Yes, DBT was designed specifically for people in crisis with suicidal behavior and severe emotion dysregulation. If you're currently unstable, you might need comprehensive DBT individual therapy, skills group, phone coaching at an intensive level rather than just skills group alone. So often people will combine multiple DBT groups with individual therapy at the level that’s right from them or in an IOP format. The structure and frequent contact help keep you safe while teaching you skills to stabilize. Some DBT programs require commitment to certain safety agreements like calling before self-harming, but crisis is absolutely not a barrier to starting DBT. It's actually the ideal time since you need the skills most urgently. If symptoms are pronounced, you will need intensive care. If you’re in an immediate crisis or when you are in crisis, you’ll need immediate crisis care that will be separate from the work you are doing in DBT. Meaning, DBT skills are learned over time and can help you in times of crisis once you master them through consistent therapy but it's not a substitute for crisis resources if you’re in immediate crisis and need immediate help.

The self-guided program includes clear video recordings of the therapist going over the material, detailed worksheets, and reading manuals. Many DBT concepts take time and repeated going through to understand, so revisiting content multiple times often clarifies initially confusing material. If you need personalized explanation, live therapy or our DBT skills groups provide that, though requiring scheduled attendance. Our DBT self guided program is laid out clearly and is self intuitive so it's very thorough and easy to follow on its own. Many people couple the DBT self guided program with live online individual therapy or an online DBT skills group for additional accountability around adhering to DBT skills if still needed.

Absolutely. Many people use it to supplement and complement their therapy. It deepens the skills work, gives structure between sessions, and reinforces what they're learning with their therapist. The combination often accelerates progress compared to therapy alone since there is a program you can reference at any time and between sessions, so it’s a great way to establish accountability and adherence to treatment.
