So I go to DBT therapy group and it doesn’t seem to be I don’t know working or flowing well. I need advice is this normal for this to happen to DBT group or therapy group in general.
So what happened was I was at group therapy. I go to group therapy and individual therapy because that is part of the program for this type of therapy. Group therapy is 2 hours long 😣 too.
Anyway what happened was I was explaining some thing and this one girl who has eating disorder jumped in and went on and on about her situation. Then once she was done well she was still going around circles , it ended and then someone else had there turn.
Then I asked the therapist what this word meant since he said the word and then he said to everyone “translator please”
I felt so ashamed because I didn’t knew what the word meant. I told my partner and my mum they thought that therapist was mean and uncalled for.
Gosh after that one the therapist ask for a example from us that he could help us on. So I mentioned what do you do say for example I said my mum is always looking on her phone and when you try to talk to her, she ignores you so you have to call her name. Then he said how phones are design to be addictive and how there was this article he read. I was thinking 🤔 oh yeah I read article about that too.
Then suddenly the girl beside me just jumped in my conversation and said “well, my step mum told my sister and I we stop using our phones because we are addicted to them. I will use my phone because someone will reply to me and I’m anxious so I have to fiddle with something “ after that happened she said to me “sorry I jumped in” I’m feeling pisst and this other girl in the group had her turn.
