I do not believe that, for me, it is about BPD per se but more about those core beliefs that therapy tries to change (I mentioned this way back in another post). For me, they simply aren't changing. I grew up thinking I was worthless, unlovable, etc, etc, and I don't know how to change that when I feel those beliefs being validated nearly every day of my life. How exactly is therapy going to change that?

When you have the chance, go to a bookstore and look at the dbt workbooks. I recommend the store so you can actually flip through them. See if any of them might be worth trying out...can't hurt. I wouldn't recommend buying them at the bookstore. You can usually get them cheaper on abebooks or eBay.
