Just something to keep in mind with DBT therapy. The therapy and therapists are totally solution focused. So, for example, if you were really upset about something and you called a T, they wouldn't ask what was wrong or try to soothe you, they will be totally focused on what you did to try to change the situation and solve the problem by yourself. I'm not saying that's wrong - it's just that when people are used to traditional therapy, it can seem harsh or unnerving or even uncaring the first couple of times it happens. Also, in the DBT groups, again, problems or personal issues are usually not discussed - group discussion is solution focused.
