I miss my old therapist so much I feel like calling her tonight. This DBT therapist makes me feel horrible, absolutely horrible. She wanted to know about my mother, so I told her my mother was a bitch. She said that I was being judgmental, as if I did not know it was a judgmental statement. She is condescending too. (She has a doctorate in SW.) She contradicates whatI say. This is not exactly what she said, but similar: When did you start hating men, I thought you slept with a many. One, really has nothing to do with the other in my opinion. I was almost in tears during this session. I really don't think she likes me. I asked her if she had a hard time working with me. She said no, that I have a hard time working with her. I am not used to being treated rudely. I know DBT therapists are supposed to keep patients off balance, but is rudeness the way to do it.I like the group though. Right now I am trying to use skills to keep from cutting because I am depressed and angry. It is so hard for me to take not being liked.
The very first time I self injured (cutting) I was 9 yrs old and very depressed. Cutting must be an instinct. It is certainly not something you learn by age 9. It might be an attention seeking behavior when you get older, but I doubt it is at 9. So if this women thinks I cut to get attention she is wrong. I am supposed to call her if I think I am going to cut, but I do not want to talk to her. Do you think my old T might talk to me? She always made me feel better. I am just very hurt and angry and trying not to cut.
