I do not know how to take this DBT therapist. She called what I feel for my X T. a crush. I've known X T. 25yrs. I think I've passed the crush stage. Maybe X T. does not feel the same way I do, but she likes me as a friend and always has. Present T. cancelled 2X out of 6. Also I have not started skills group yet. Am I reading into this? terrics

Yikes, perhaps YOU should address with HER about therapy-inhibiting behaviors. That would be very DBT of you.
I'm sorry this is not going well. And yes, it's hard to believe a crush could last 25 years.
Take care,

I think that was very insensitive thing to say about your relationship with your X T. It minimizes how much you cared for each other. "Crush" does not describe the imbalance in the relationship. It would have been better for her to let you talk about your feelings and what that attachment meant to you without making some flippant comment. It makes me angry when I think about her trivalizing your feelings about your X T.
Please don't give her insensitive remark more weight than it is due.
Take care.
