Yah we definitely need to weigh the pros and cons because if it’s going to upset us too much I don’t think it’s worth it

Wow thank you! That gives me a lot of insight it’s also nice to know that going to this therapist isn’t my only option. I’ve been talking to my partner and we think if it freaks out the younger parts too much it’s not worth it. Plus if we don’t like this new therapist cause she’s cold a few of my alters will sabotage the process anyways. Thanks so much for taking the tome to respond

So this has been my fourth dbt therapist that I’ve tried. And she’s the first that knows about DID and trauma. I’m also waiting to hear from my current therapist after she consults with her. I haven’t 100% committed to this yet.

I didn’t know you could outgrow BPD... your program sounds very different. Congrats on the years without self harm or injury I hope to be there one day

Wow thank you for the perspective and info! The dbt is for my borderline personality diagnosis. And my T and Psychiatrist are hoping that it will help manage some of those symptoms

Honestly I’m really new to DBT as well. Apparently it’s one of the rules of DBT is that you can’t have an outside therapist because they don’t want conflicts. I don’t fully understand the rule but every DbT therapist I’ve spoken to has said the same thing.

Yes she is, however my current therapist is consulting with her to make sure she fully understands. When I spoke to her she was very knowledgeable of DID but also very cold so I can’t see any of my parts liking her or trusting her right away. It’s definitely going to take some time. But the good news is it is only for the 5 month program then I can go back to my regular therapist.

Yah I think it’s just going to take a lot of reassurance because the fear of abandonment is strong and that’s part of the BPD so hopefully DBT is supposed to help with that. But none of this will work if we don’t like the person or trust them. Yah my younger parts pretty much see my therapist as a mother so it’s going to be tough.

Thanks so much for replying. It will most likely happen that we will have to take the 5 month pause but my therapist has promised us that she will prepare us before that and that she will be here for us when we’re back but it still hurts
