Distress Tolerance

Yesterday we started the module "Distress Tolerance" in my DBT group. I think I'm going to need all the tolerances I can muster for the next eight weeks.
My psychiatrist is now one of the facilitators for teaching this segment. This is the same man who left me destroyed for a week after my last one on one meeting with him. I find he's condescending and is extremely invalidating. As you can tell, I'm not a fan.
Back to my main point: The psychiatrist reviewed the part they call emotional mind. His example was the song "Candle in the Wind" What the? My therapist asked him to explain. He stated the song is about Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, they both were boaderline's.
These absolute statements he announces infuriates me. The song has nothing to do with emotional mind, nor does having boarderline mean emotional mind.
Thanks for reading my rant
