Scout1963,
Sorry that your T hasn't lined up a DBT group for you to work with. Her just saying that she can't help you, now go and look for a DBT specialist, that's not real professional!

A better thing would have been her giving you a list of options in your area, offering to call and refer you, so you aren't doing it alone. Sorry, that just really bugs me!
It's great that you are an optimist ~ what a wonderful quality to hold onto! Hold onto that optimism and get into a DBT group & individual T, to help you work through your past.
Best wishes to you!
