She shouldn't withhold her "approval" of you just because you don't want to participate in that group. FWIW, I wouldn't want to participate in a group with my T's consultation group either.

Thank you Liese. She doesn't seem to understand the problem I have with doing that group with her consultation team. She tells me that they assume that I am a good person. Ugh. Yet all they know of me is about the times I stress my T out because that is their job to help her with that stress. I feel like an object in front of them. They know nothing else about me. It makes me feel like a case rather than a human being.

The last time my T went away he told me that I could call any of the therapists he shares his suite with. I don't know any of them but see them in the waiting room. I was triggered by T in our last session before his vacation and there was no way I could go to any one of those therapists and talk about my feelings for my T.

If you are not comfortable doing DBT with the consultation group, tell T you will find another DBT group. Just my opinion.
