Thanks Garnet. I actually thought of you/your last post while in session today... the post where you suggested maybe SHE is borderline.
My T and I have a special connection. She has said so several times and I know we both feel it. I think that it's quite possible that part of the reason we do have a special relationship is because she can relate to me in some way. What that may be... whether it's something serious or not, I dont know... but I wouldnt be surprised at all to find out we have things in common.
I do think she's lying to herself if she thinks that the stigma/meaning of the label "depression" is equal to that of "borderline". I work in the field myself and I know how many professionals look at it. Therapy can make you question yourself a lot (for me anyway), to the point it can really confuse me as to what the truth even is.. but I KNOW that I'm not crazy in feeling this way.
She's a smart lady and I know that she listens when I tell her something isnt working for me. I know she wants to get it and wants to be helpful however she can. If I didnt know that, I'd have a lot less patience for this... but I know that she wants to help. I'll keep beating at it if I need to I guess... but I do strongly believe that my upset with this ISNT an indication of anything but me being normal. People here on babble have helped me understand that.
