That's why in DBT the therapist has a consultation group that supports the therapist. It helps keep the therapist on track and works with their feelings etc.

Excellent ..thank you. Explained the attachment issues and development of child mirroring mother beautifully.

I was only teasing you. On a random note, I think this "mentalizing" technique would be excellent for people with ADD. I have ADD and sometimes my thoughts race and I get into intense moods based in faulty cognition. Just learning about these techniques has helped me quite a bit.

Overstimulate the attachment system... So basically if you try to have a relationship with a pwBPD, then you are pretty much doomed.
She seems to have a lot of treatment or maybe she just hides it well.
What I cannot understand is why did she ever think she could have a relationship with me. I told her that I'd be leaving town.

The man's mentalizing.

"even if in the UK all funding has been withdrawn for BPD"
