shrinerspark ::: Favorites She would need psychodynamic as opposed to psychoanalytic therapy. Borderlines can't handle strict psychoanalysis... it makes them freak out. Psychodynamic can work, though. 07-07-15 00:15:54 _____________________________________________________
shrinerspark ::: Favorites As for what your therapist said... all I can think is that maybe he feels that you are being more emotionally honest with him. Anyone can tell anybody the facts -- but actually expressing how you truly feel about things, and going through the pain of them, is very different. 07-07-15 00:16:34 _____________________________________________________
seoul75 ::: Favorites the framework within the DBT model is resolve symptoms, i.e., self-destructive behaviors then work on the deeper interpersonal issues. 07-07-15 23:06:58 _____________________________________________________
seoul75 ::: Favorites i would preface this by saying some borderline cannot handle psychoanalysis. there is a spectrum to the illness. 07-07-15 23:09:33 _____________________________________________________
shrinerspark ::: Favorites Well, true. I was diagnosed borderline at one point, and even psychodynamic was very hard to handle for me at times, although I managed it. I know psychoanalysis would have been really bad, though. 07-07-15 23:55:50 _____________________________________________________
shrinerspark ::: Favorites Exactly. I actually do have a decent opinion about DBT (as opposed to CBT, which I generally loathe), but I don't think DBT is the cure-all, either. However, I think Tina could probably benefit a LOT from DBT, since it deals with things like symptom management and emotions management, etc. 07-07-15 23:56:59 _____________________________________________________

RoyalGenius ::: Favorites Hi Tina,I have manic depression, it's difficult. I forgive myself for the bad days, and go on. I read all self help books, and listen to positive thinking cds daily. You can check Them out at the library and copy them. I listen to one every morning and it has helped me emmensly, kinda brainwashing myself with good info. Try it! You have the power, you are intelligent. Another thing that makes me feel good is when i do something good for someone else. A good deed a day keeps the blues away! 07-07-16 13:45:18 _____________________________________________________
CagedSongBird ::: Favorites I can't believe your therapist said he doesn't even know you after five years. I've been seeing Dr. W for 8 months, and he practically treats me like a daughter. I was so blessed to find him and I have made major improvement in my life because of him.(Cont.) 07-07-22 09:30:05 _____________________________________________________
CagedSongBird ::: Favorites He does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which probably wouldn't work for BPD, but I'd have to research it. Maybe it's time you considered a new therapist? Therapy, to me, is more valuable than this handful of pills I take every single day. It's my life line. But you absolutely have to have the right fit. The right therapist for you. You'll know in your gut if it isn't working and if you need someone new to advance you to the next level (cont.) 07-07-22 09:32:10 _____________________________________________________
CagedSongBird ::: Favorites or pull you out of a dark place that this therapist isn't recognizing. Thanks for the great quote. I'm going to copy and paste it and put it in my favorites. It makes so much sense to me. Love ya T! You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Richie says hello! Sending you a smnile! (((Big Hugs))) to you...
