my T is very dismissive regarding any suicidal thoughts or feelings I have. It's disconcerting, to say the least. I don't understand it, and it hurts. It's like she has a policy of not talking about it. So if I go in there and say I am suicidal, it is guaranteed that we will NOT talk about me being suicidal. I don't know if it's a DBT thing or not. I wish I had Linehan's book so I could see if that is part of her instructions of how to handle sui clients or what.

I'm just saying, fallen, that I understand how you feel. I've been seeing my T for over a year and she is very supportive and caring in other ways, but if I talk about being sui or indicate it on my diary card, it is not something we can talk about. If I try to talk about it in session, she will not respond. It's difficult.
