So what does a person do with the possibility that they are borderline? How does that explain the Ts actions or response? That makes it ok? I don't get it....but I think we are free to have differing viewpoints just as we are free to have our feelings hurt or feel angry etc.
Sure, but the therapist explained she no longer felt this course of treatment to be appropriate, and offered a termination session and a referral recommendation. She recommended long-term psychodynamic therapy, and I wondered if DBT might also have been discussed but not mentioned here. She has met her professional and ethical obligations as a therapist. She even still leaves open the option of a termination session for the client.

My impression is that the client is refusing that session. Now there may be therapists who will do more than this, but this one behaved fairly and ethically and it is wrong to put this person down, especially when many details about this situation remain vague.
