I would run for the hills, if I were you, but that is not the healthy thing to do, so I am told. I am so sorry you had this experience. I think your T was way off base. Unfortunately, some of them are. Just because they have a degree does not mean they are necessarily right to their judgement is superior to yours. I am blessed to have a good supportive therapist, but she does not live in my body and experience my experiences. My T cannot tell me what my own intuition can, because she is not me and she is not there.

I think you so have a reason to be cautious about this guy. Can you find out more about him? Maybe get his full name and see if he has a criminal record or anything?

On the other hand, I also wish to express my opinion on giving up DBT class. My advise on that is to do everything you can to stick with DBT. It is not the cure that we all need and want, BUT it is helpful and when practiced, it can make things better. It promises a "life worthwhile." While I still have yet to personally see that result, I do see that DBT has given me tools and skills to use in my daily life.

I really encourage you to try to work something out, so that you can stay with the DBT program. Maybe take some of the suggestions from the other posters and try to work it out within the group or at the center, so that you can stay with the DBT.

I wish you well.
