Yup, that line of thinking absolutely back-fired on me. I cringe when I hear this suggestion being made in therapy, precisely because of how it affected me - as in learned pessimism, just as you said, Sky (although I can see it's merits for some people's line of thinking, such as Perna(?) has expressed).

I believe as I learn to adopt this line of thinking more and more, my BPD symptoms will not nearly be as overwhelming as they are now.

Great thought to always keep in the forefront of one's mind...
