Tonight in DBT group one of the other group members intimated that like her, I was fat and smelly (she used both of those words!!!). I was so shocked and so hurt and so embarrassed I didn't know what to say. There were 2 therapists in the room at the time the comment was made. I mean, gosh, that's why I'm in therapy - I don't know how to take care of myself. Should I have said something? Shouldn't the person who made the comment have approached me and apologized? I feel humiliated and I'm going to drop out of the group. I'll continue with individual therapy (I think). The group leader is my therapist. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Well, that was quite a lovely comment by the other group member. Plus +1 for tact and kindness!!!

First though, really make sure that you didn't misinterpret what was said by the group member in question. Second, I would talk to your therapist about it at your next appointment, and tell him/her exactly how you feel about the situation.

Did anybody in the group and/or the either one of the two therapists have any reaction whatsoever? I don't just mean verbally, but by way of body language or facial expression as well? If they didn't react, it is possible you took it the wrong way.
