(((Maranara))),

I asked my T about BPD once, because I got to know a member that was struggling with it. My T told me that it often comes from neglect or abuse in early childhood and often is accompanied by PTSD. I think that it is not such a bad thing for you to concentrate on the PTSD in a separate way tbh. What that can help you do is connect the dots and see how the PTSD can be a contributor to the BPD issues as well. I actually think it is smart that your T is thinking about that too. His goal is to help you heal and understand yourself better so you can get past the "feeling that something is just going to fail" in your relationships. And it will also show you how you have compensated unknowingly because of your history.

Give it a chance, it's all about healing and learning about yourself so you can improve and gain on the areas where you struggle.

((((Hugs))))
