DBT?

So I had an appointment with my shrink today at the VA hospital. He recommended that I should join a VA support group based on dialectical behavioral therapy. The problem is I don't do well in groups, especially when AA members are involved, and the VA is loaded with AA freaks. I'm gonna give it a shot, but I know that when they start to talk about acceptance they are gonna give AA speeches and muddy up the true purpose of the concept of accepting things that I can't change... AA members take this to mean that they are utterly powerless over everything, and it is beyond their ability to change anything at all. In fact they believe that even thinking you can change anything is a fucking crime against humanity. blech!
