Good point. It must be exhausting.
One thing I've heard about dealing with borderlines in therapy is that they're pretty willing to share what they're feeling (by way of expressing, acting or reacting)....which is, perhaps, an advantage. I'm much less willing to be so transparent, which I'd imagine makes it difficult to get to the root of matters. The tradeoff, perhaps, is that I'm an easier client to feel safe with.
