Your former to will be able to see if your new T is going a direction with you that might be unproductive or unhelpful. That is much more than usually comes out of a supervision situation, and it should really work to your benefit.

And this is what the objective and logical part of me sees and understands. That this situation could really work to my benefit. But I am BPD and these emotions get in the way, and I have to fight, fight, fight the impulse not to say or do something stupid. Thanks so much Sierra.
