I don't know why it didn't occur to me before. I spent half her book shouting "That's IT!!!" and was stunned at how well she described phenomenon I'm familiar with, even tho I really don't qualify for the BPD diagnosis.
Yet I've seen her videos and she comes across as so *sensible*. But I suppose I often come across as sensible as well. Well, maybe not. Everyone who meets me seems to know I have an anxiety disorder, but still...
I think it's been mixed blessing and curse to me that my DT (dear therapist) may well be screwed up, but he's screwed up in a totally different way than I am. Bad that he doesn't really understand me and likely never will, but good in that he balances me far better than someone more like me would.
