> Hello,
We weren't specifically talking about DBT or BorderPers disorder although I'm sure it could apply. We were talking about transference and how difficult it is to deal with. Even though that post was a year ago, I am still struggling with it. My therapist knows, and we try to work with it. RU worried you will develop transference?
StebbyHi. Are you talking about DBT therapy for BPersonD? I am stuck a bit, missing appts., being late, etc., and have not yet begun DBT therapy or dialectical behavioral therapy. Is this the therapy you all are discussing here? Appreciate your more current info posted here about becoming dependent (for lack of better word) on a T. My therapist and I have communicated about our feelings towards one another. I asked her how she feels about me, caucasian, middle class, born in America, while her family lives in Iran?? She explained quietly and with a kind smile that it was not an issue. I was afraid she might hold some prejudicial feelings. Also, after being 'noncompliant' (missing or being late to appts), I asked if her feelings for me had changed? I believe that we do need to connect, but it not be a 'special' relationship for her or me. If I am worried about our relationship, I just spill it out. If you are discussing dialectical behavioral therapy, or just therapy itself, I am open to any info you could share. I do have borderline personality disorder. Best wishes cf
