This dynamic explains why BPD clients are so dreaded by many psychotherapists. If the psychotherapists haven’t done their own psychological scrutiny to immunize themselves from from getting caught in the unconscious of their clients, those unwary psychotherapists will find that no matter how hard they work, no matter how much of an effort they make, it only takes one BPD client to make them feel like miserable failures.
This is what I was like with my previous t - the one I completely and utterly screwed over.

She told me she would never get over not being able to engage me as her patient. Looking back now, I am glad I was too much for her.
