Hi gg, I am very sensitive to criticsm. I think this T. is into criticism. I cannot think of one time she validated anything. ( been there 8X). You learn anger from anger, happiness from happiness, criticsm from criticsm. Her M.O. is very much like my mother's. I don't want to feel bad the rest of my life, that is why I'm trying this. This SW has a doctorate and I feel she comes off as arrogant. I realize this can be my perspective or perhaps something is going on in her life.
I just finished Linehan's book. In parts of it the therapist goes into a rage.
I wasn't even sure I borderline when I started this as I have had many dxs. She read me some stuff and asked if it was me...Yes. We are not all alike, us borderlines. I started getting better when I got this dx because I realized through lots of tears that I did have many bpd traits. If therapy continues like this I will have to quit. thank you for pointing the validation thing out. When do you graduate? Maybe I'll come to you. lol terrics
