I'm pretty cautious myself about "group work", but my understanding is that DBT is designed specifically for the things you're talking about, and therefore the groups would be designed for people more or less in the same place you are.
But we all know that the world is not ideal, and perhaps your therapist knows something about how local groups are designed that make her believe they aren't ideally suited for you.
There are no outpatient groups in our area, so I did read the manual on my own and tried to work on it with my therapist.
Did your pdoc suggest more frequent meetings while you're not feeling well? My therapist has seen me nearly daily when I'm at my worst. Is she associated with your university? Does she have any rules about how often she can see you?
