[Modoasis] question about nadas seeing BP therapist

[Guest guest]

Any of your nadas been to see a therapist who specializes in borderline

personality? Just wondering what their tactics are. Mine is seeing one; it

appears to me that the tactic is for the therapist to sort of befriend nada

and appear to be on her side. Then do they move on to do other things I

guess? B/c my nada is still up to her usual tricks. It seems that her

therapist is trying to keep nada at bay from me and my friend somewhat but

nada does not listen. Nada is under the impression her therapist does not

think she is a borderline, so do they make the borderline think they are not

and treat them like one anyway? Or how do they ever get help? Nada is with

one of the well known BPD therapists. I was just curious, b/c nada tells

people and thinks I am the mastermind of all conspiracy. I still think she

may eventually call child protective service on me. Just curious about how

these BP therapists work. This one of hers is supposed to call me but has

not yet.

Theresa:

What I have heard of BP specific therapists is that they often force their

patients to go through a BP boot camp before they'll take them as a client -

the boot camp being a thing where the BP is told what to do and has to do it

without adding things or counter offering. (In Seattle or the NW somewhere)

Most of the therapists that would have made a diifference for my mother,

pissed her off - IE they called her on what she was doing, so she decided

not to go to them anymore.

I don't know if you ever got the book " becoming a constant object in the

psychotherapy of a borderline patient " but it doesn't sound like the

strategies it suggests for dealing w/ a BP are the ones that the therapist

you speak of is currently using.

Good luck,
