Hi Cats,

Irreverent behavior in DBT is usually discussed in a way where Ts are very blatant in what they say. They don't sugar coat things. When a client says that their day sucked and list all of the things that went wrong, a T might respond with "Yeah, that day went to hell, but what can you do about it?" Ie. not wallowing with the client about what happened, but acknowledging that it sucked, and moving on with how to deal with the situation in the here and now. However, the response by your T seems to have taken this to another level.
