Let me go out on a limb here, in reference to your dream about having seix with your pdoc (!).
I'd say having sex means that you're feeling some connection to her-- something private and maybe a little scary-- but intense.
And you Parents (your Father could stand for both of them) don't like this connection; It might threaten them, or be outside what they know or can control-- They (or he) don't trust or understand the idea of therapy, so maybe it seems scary or unacceptable
So, they (or he, or your Mom) are watching, somewhat disapprovingly-- They're invading your privacy and your right to have a new relationship that feels good. You want them to go away (you hide under the covers), so you can have this relationship without feeling intruded on, without hiding and feeling self-conscious or maybe guilty.
I'm glad you trust your pdoc and that she's trying to help. It's a good thing. Maybe over time, you can explain more to her about DBT, especially as we do it here-- She might be able to see some of the benefits. Then maybe she'll refer you to a group-- and you can see her and have the DBT.
That would be great. I'm sorry your parents are pressuring you and upsetting you-- they're probably worried and don' t know how to help. I think they want the best for you, but they don't express themselves in a good or supportive way.
You're doing really well-- maybe right now, you don't see it-- because things seem to be falling apart. But in the long run, I see a bright future for you.
I'm looking forward to doing the DBT.
