I only barely started DBT in NY, then I was kicked out into the psych unit, kicked out of grad school....but I digress.

I understand where they are coming from, and I actually agree with the idea. But I know it hurts, and I know it feels like your T doesn't care. It sounds to me, though, that she really *does* care, a lot. She made sure to tell you to call in 24 hours. She has a protocol to follow, and in DBT, they're really strict about following the rules - it's what the entire program is based on. It's so structured, that to take away that structure detracts from the program, and the program is what is going to help you in the long run.

I hope you're feeling better today, zoo. And I hope you can call your T and get reassurance that she does, indeed, care about you.
