Do you think it possible that he's feeling a bit uncomfortable about how to act since he's no longer your primary therapist? Therapists aren't always as skilled at situations as we'd like to think. When my therapist feels awkward or unsure, I generally read him as angry or distant. It feels a lot alike on my end. A sort of shallow deflection instead of the deeper openness that I'm used to.
I think it very unlikely that your pdoc has suddenly started hating you. And fairly likely that he's uncomfortable, and thinking about what he should be doing instead of being genuine. He's probably worried about interfering with the DBT therapist's job, or slipping back into the familiar role of your therapist.
I also sometimes find that the energy I project is also what I perceive in my therapist sometimes. Is it possible that you are understandably angry with your pdoc about the new arrangement?
