Many therapists promote that they know DBT, but once I start talking to them I get the sense that they just know the basics. I have taken an 8 month DBT group and they've taken a 3 month certification, if that. It's so bad, my latest therapist has me watch instructional youtube videos on DBT topics in session. How lazy is that?

He doesn't even appear to know the symptoms of borderline, and genuinely looks surprised when I tell him about some of the stuff I'm going through. Kind of a deer in the headlights. Not the first I've encountered like that. 

I wish they would take the time to get up to speed rather than just winging it and wasting time.
