I am titrating our sessions at this time and have contacted another therapist to get into a therapy group(not DBT). I have another T I see everyother week who is the voice of reason and I respect very much. So I will see him and do the group therapy once a week.

I am not grateful when my mental health providers share their issues with me. The last one who did so nearly wore me out. I almost felt like we had swapped roles at times. I guess it's because I'm an RN who does counseling they feel some colleagueal(sp) relationship. I told this new therapist in no uncertain terms that I did not want to hear about any of her traumas, dramas or her mama. I think that when they share like this they are trying to show us that they know how we feel, but for me it just doesn't work.
