There was a creepy T in my DBT group. We had a lot of T's showing up for a month or so at a time. I finally googled him, and I don't know if he was afraid I was going to "out" him in group or what (which I would never do), he was always so nervous. It was a pretty straight group, I think. I don't know WHAT was wrong. I would have liked him personally, but I felt like that's what he was afraid of, so he was kind of awful towards me. I even wrote a letter of complaint (he made a really racially ignorant statement in one of his "scenarios"), so I guess it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. But the whole DBT scene creeped me out. They have such good info, but it's like they want you to ignore your past and your feelings. To me, the ideal therapy would be a psychodynamic DBT. There probably aren't a lot of other DBT choices around? I'm so sorry, Wysteria, this isn't you. It kinda makes sense a creepyish T needs the structure of DBT to "connect".
