[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 401408, member: 6546"] Yes. This is how it has been explained to me. BPDs do not particpate in treatment because trying to convince them that THEY are the ones with a problem is like trying to convince them that the chair upon which they are sitting does not exist. It is an argument that you cannot win. And the more you try to convince a Borderline (BPD) to seek treatment, the harder you try to push them to take action - the more likely they are to decide that you are a "bad" person who is out to get them. Meanwhile, the Borderline (BPD) person continues to respond to others in extreme ways - clearly needing help of some kind...yet the more you try to help them, the worse they respond. Janet-- If you don't mind me asking - what was it that convinced you to seek therapy in the first place? And now that you have been through therapy - what are the biggest changes that you notice in your life? (It's OK if you don't want to share....) [/QUOTE]
