All I’m gonna tell you, I wouldn’t probably dare to do it but, I will say it to you.
There are two things you could do short-term: Talk to the therapist about the struggles you are finding with this person and also put into practise the very best of the skills and knowledge you are getting from therapy and try to apply it with this person.
I’m curious to know what attitude the therapist of your group is taking with this person. Maybe, this guy is not ready for a group and have to do a lot of work before individually.

Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it.
Well...in my experience being in the DBT group. First we had two therapist psychologist. One of them left and then this socail worker who was trained to do DBT came in. Then the other psychologist left too. So for a while it was socail worker who was trained in DBT and a student therapist. Suddenly we then had a new psychologist come in they were there for a while...maybe couple of months. Then they decided to leave too because they were going to get involved in another group therapy.
So now it's just the socail worker who trained in DBT and the student therapist.
There was at one point during class that maybe 3 of the clients got up in different times, to answer there phone and leave the room. I heard the socail worker saying "I dont have control of them room"
The person who got upset by the voices in the other room and refuse to cover up his marks he works with the socail worker outside of DBT group. I know this cause they discussed at end of group therapy what time to make the appointment.
So yeah, I dont know if I answered your question correctly but that's what happened in my DBT group so far.
I mean I dont know if thats even normal for DBT group to behave that way. I dont know if constant change of therapist in a group is good for clients since we experience sensitivity to rejection.
