MRT...sorry she was too tough on you today. I can see how that would be disturbing and embarrassing in front of someone else. I would definitely say something at your next session. Tell her how it made you feel. If you really want to impress her and let her know you are working, write up a DEAR MAN to address the issue with her. In case you don't know that is a DBT skill. Look it up in your book and plan what to say to her accordingly. Describe the facts of the situation in group and Express how it made you feel. Be Assertive and tell her what you would like (help with using skills if that is the case), then Reinforce her wanted actions by telling her what is in it for her if she could give you what you want or need. For example, you might be more cooperative or make more progress in therapy if she could.......
Good luck tomorrow. I know I have been at a cross roads with my T too. I am learning to tell him when he does something that effects me negatively. I have DID and am kind of in denial right now so he has graciously agreed to still work with me until I decide to start accepting my dx again. In the meantime we have been working almost exclusively on DBT skills. I suck at it too. He keeps asking me which ones would help with such and such and I constantly say I don't know. Today I was begging him to help me and give me some suggestions. I will catch on eventually. So will you.
