Yes, my T is CBT/DBT oriented. My T has been like this with me on the phone before. She has said the same exact thing before in response to me getting overwhelmingly upset. But, other times i have felt very comforted by her on the phone. When we are on the phone, it is primarily for help to get myself grounded and into problem solving mode. She encourages me to cry in sessions, so I don't think she is trying to stifle my feelings. This is where I get confused. She doesn't want me to feel the feelings I was having on the phone that day. I have a hard time knowing which feelings are okay to feel and which ones are from emotion mind. I don't even think she was right about all of my feelings being from emotion mind. It was probably a mixed bag, because i did get overwhelmed with the situation. At least her "threat" snapped me out of it because I did not want her to hang up on me. so I guess it worked.
