Hi ((((((Mary Alice)))))) = I was just thinking re: your T = sometimes, T's think that THEY are failing if their patient says that they are not interested in getting to the ever elusive 'happy place' (working toward 'recovery') = this concept is really ingrained in them by their training I think. He may really not be able to 'accept' the concept of status quo , although I doubt that he would want you to not see him anymore; just the opposite is true I'll bet, in fact. Have you researched a lot about the 'treatment options' for bpd = mostly it is dbt, etc. = rather than supportive therapies exclusively. He may genually feel like he will be cheating you if he doesn't provide the generally recommended therapy for your issues. Just some thoughts.

Theraputically, he's probably correct, but it still feels like rejection and abandonment I know. :-( I hope you can continue to discuss this with him - it may bring some new insight into the situation at least... What do you think?

That sucks that your DM is soooo....grrrrr. Keeping you in my thoughts. Most warmly, Peanut
