Hi, all....After 5 years, my T identified borderline traits in my behavior. Then we started DBT after CBT. Her take is the skills learned in DBT can be applied to the acting out behaviors. My borderline traits I'm learning, are the defense mechanisms of the unconscious. They are serious and protective of the child. Developing honest emotions and responses in relationships is my goal. It's a complex puzzle. Emotional deficits in childhood are hard to understand in the present, I'm finding. I'm looking forward to meeting more peeps in this group. Love,
