Well, now... "that's interesting.... very interesting." So basically you end up with non-BPD folks misdiagnosed getting the therapy style I would vastly prefer, and I'm likely to get stuck in a room with someone who wants to torture me with talk for 50 minutes and then execute me with a hug at the end.
Ok, I'm having a dark sense of humor this morning....
You'd think a therapist should volunteer that information about a bpd diag as soon as it causes them to alter their treatment approach, letting the talk relationship assumption meander across that boundary seems like asking for trouble.
