I'm worried the program is going to influence how the staff interpret you even though they know you do not have BPD. How is it supposed to help you?

If you do attend the program on thing that could help are boundaries such as no socializing with other clients, not discussing your illness and focusing solely on your recovery.

I don't think it is ridiculous. In the 1990s I went through it and experienced all kinds of stigma from clinicians. Almost all of them ignored me or accused me of manipulating them. Suddenly I was a monster. BPD was such an invalidating and very unhelpful diagnosis.
