Generally yes. In-person private practice therapy in cities often costs $200-400+ per session. Grouport costs less because there's no office rent, smaller geographic markets to draw from, and efficiency of scale. You also save on transportation costs and time. Online therapy has made affordable therapy accessible to people who couldn't afford traditional in-person rates.

Therapy can help, and some situations require court-ordered anger management. Get support before it escalates further. Lasting change requires internal commitment and recognition that behavior was unacceptable regardless of what provoked it.

Trauma includes any event where you experienced or witnessed actual/threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. This can include war, assault, abuse, accidents, disasters, witnessing violence, sudden loss or anything overwhelming to the nervous system. It can be a single event or repeated that causes PTSD.

Previous unsuccessful therapy doesn't mean therapy can't help. Having a different therapist, a different approach, and it being a different time can make a major difference. There are so many factors that go into successful therapy. It’s important to try again even if you have failed previously. Discuss your previous experience with your new therapist so they can avoid what didn't work and try different approaches..

Many people with BPD have unsuccessful previous treatments before finding DBT. And even if they have had DBT it wasn’t necessarily quality DBT or at the level of intensiveness that was right for them. In fact many people come to us and relay exactly this, and then are quickly surprised by how life changing our DBT therapy can be. Past failures don't predict future outcomes. It’s important to seek DBT-specific treatment, work with a therapist who has extensive training in BPD, and be committed to full treatment length. Many people succeed in DBT after years of failed treatments. The key is specialized and committed treatment.

DBT is used for eating disorders, especially binge eating disorder and bulimia. There's even a specialized version called DBT-ED (DBT for Eating Disorders). Eating disorder behaviors often serve the same function as self-harm—regulating overwhelming emotions. DBT teaches you to identify emotional triggers for eating disorder behaviors, use skills instead of restricting/binging/purging, tolerate distress without resorting to eating disorder behaviors, and build a life worth living beyond the eating disorder. Mindful eating is also part of DBT by paying attention while eating rather than using food to numb out. That said, eating disorders often require specialized treatment beyond just DBT, including medical monitoring and nutritional support.

You can learn the basics from books or online resources, but actually applying them when you're in crisis is way harder without support. DBT skills are simple to understand but difficult to use consistently when you're emotionally overwhelmed—which is exactly when you need them. A therapist or DBT skills group provides accountability, coaching through difficult moments, help troubleshooting when skills aren't working, and support when you're struggling to practice. That said, if you’re not ready to do therapy or you prefer a self paced program, or you’re looking for additional accountability in between sessions self-guided DBT can definitely help. Grouport has a self-guided DBT program designed for people who want to learn the skills on their own timeline or are looking for additional support in between sessions.

Since the program is a uniform program, that gives you immediate access to a years worth of therapist recorded videos, worksheets and extensive reading manuals that can be downloaded, a community forum that you can partake in, and lifetime access, it’s a one time fee that grants you lifetime access to it. As such, there aren’t any refunds we provide for the program. For this one time fee, you are getting tremendous value so that you can build effective DBT skills.

It's self-paced, so one major advantage of this format is complete flexibility. You can pause whenever, and resume whenever. There is no expiration as you get lifetime access. Many people work steadily through the material, then use their unlimited access for periodic reviews. Others start and go through some amount of material, pause, and return months later when they’re ready to resume. You also don’t have to go through all the skills at once but can just focus in on certain sections that way you can hone in on one particular skill or module so that it’s more digestible before moving on to a different area. Whichever way you go about it, having lifetime access provides complete flexibility to go at your own pace.

It’s designed for adults and older teens. Younger children need more developmentally appropriate skill building. However, many parents learn DBT skills themselves and teach their children in a style that makes sense for their learning and promotes consistent practice.

If you've tried to find a therapist and can't, you're probably in one. Officially, you can check the HRSA shortage area database, but practically speaking if the nearest therapist is an hour+ drive, if wait lists are 3-6 months, if your area has fewer than one mental health provider per 30,000 people, you're in a shortage area. It's designated based on provider to population ratios.
