[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 604157, member: 1514"] This post has become so interesting! As far as that idea in therapy, I couldnt agree more. I hate therapists who want to pigeonhole someone based on what the diagnosis is. My former therapist, the one who actually got me to believe that therapy could help, just worked with the person as they came to her. She never once told me that because I had borderline we had to do DBT. We both read the book on that and sometimes worked parts of it into our sessions but most of the time she just let me lead the times we had. If I needed to talk about how hard things had been when I was a child then thats what we did. If I needed to talk about the here and now, that was what we did. I dont think I will ever meet someone like her and that is what is keeping me from finding another therapist I can connect with. None of us with the same diagnosis represent in the exact same way. Most people who meet me in person dont even realize what is going on inside me. Like my avatar says, Im crying inside and nobody knows it but me. [/QUOTE]
