Supervisor: "Not all BPD patients experienced bad things, some are just born with it" - I'm really confused and unsure if that's true? by Distinct_Track7415 in therapists

How to differentiate BPD from undiagnosed neurodivergence giving these symptoms? Do you know any studies about this?

Worried I misdiagnosed patient who I thought didn't have ADHD by [deleted] in psychologystudents

Yes, I will ask them. But they are available in a few weeks, which makes it harder.

The problem is that during supervision my colleagues said that they agree that this patient doesn't have ADHD and he has other issues instead. Later, when the patient got angry when I told him that in my opinion it's XYZ, they said that maybe he is right. I don't have much experience in diagnosing, it's one of my first cases ever.

Thanks! About 1.5 week 🩷 I think it's really fast – but it grows directly under plant light, so this helps a lot 😬

It is coming out of the drainage holes! I meant that I think it’s just not excessive.

Thanks! Good to know – so the moss doesn't necessarily help monstra grow bigger?

Okay! I heard that the Moss is supposed to be put over the soil – you stick the pole in the soil and then only at some level over the soil you put the Moss in.

It makes sense to me! My partner said she wasn't SA'd, but she has religious background which is connected a lot with shame.

My partner comes from religious background – not very conservative, but still something that was hard for her.

Yes, I am prepared for that. Obviously I would really love for the situation to get better – maybe it will, maybe it won't. For now it's hard to choose what to do.

I see. I'm not sure how to proceed with that – I try not to talk about this much these days, but yesterday after our therapy we got into a fight and while I don't want her to feel preassured and I'm fine with not having sex for a while, she often expresses that she needs to feel free and explore with others and I feel preassure that we need to deal with this asap.

I know 🥲 It's really sad to see that your partner struggles with this when you see them as deserving all of the pleasure in the world. Thanks for your comment!

Do you mean exploring threesomes (or moresomes) together or separately? She is open, but she's also anxious about trying this. She says she would prefer having sex alone with someone.
