I was hoping some more people would give specific examples of WHEN their Ts got mad at them (like the abuse example. Makes perfect sense.) Because I don't think a T should do anything that won't directly benefit the client. .[/quote]

Here is the reason my therapist got a bit angry at my actions. I had created a fake email address and sent anonymous suicidal threats to him and all other DBT therapists in the team. I didn't deserve the angry feeling and did what I had to do to repair the situation and relation I had develop with each therapist. My actions had cause major problems for 2 weeks to all DBT team members.
