terrics, this is very sad! You shouldn't have to put up with this incompetent therapist. I just hate to think of you stuck there. Do the other people in your group see other DBT therapists? Is there any way that you could request a switch?
If not, then can you address with this person the things that she is doing that are creating such problems for you? Or else it would probably be really hard to get anywhere in therapy.
I thought DBT was supposed to keep you off balance by being irreverent, not rude. Can you tell her that some of the things she has said seem rude to you, and that you are having a hard time with the idea of your therapist being rude to you? And then give her the examples you gave us? Maybe she's trying to be irreverent, and doesn't realize that she's coming off as rude. I really hope that things get better for you. You deserve so much better.
