My brain is now seriously broken. I mean, yeah my T has the manual and whatnot but he's part of a DBT group of therapists and they do on-going training. This is their *thing* that's the only therapy they do!
I'm being overdramatic to inject a little humor but I'm really frustrated for you. This guy (disgusted noise). I think what you are doing with your mindfulness and distraction are fantastic! They really are perfect. What's up with this guy messing with that and shaming you which is NOT effective or skillful?!
Ugh. (Disgusted noise).
You just keep being awesome in the face of not-awesomeness because you're being awesome.

LOL. I know. You're dying in disbelief. You might pass out with what I'm about to say... His group was originally a BP group. He changed it to DBT to get more members. Technically, it's a process group that incorporates DBT skills.
There aren't many real DBT groups in my area, and they're way too expensive for me atm. I guess I'm getting my money's worth, huh?
I'm just really bothered that he hasn't responded. He's a hippy type, so I wonder if I've ruined his "vibe". I was actually afraid I would when he talked about energies during my first session. I will know he's a wuss if he doesn't have the "balls" to confront me. I do have BPD...but I'm high functioning. If he can't handle me, how is he going to handle someone who's low functioning?
