The most appropriate dx label for most those with BPD dx would be C-PTSD. At least, it describes the problem more accurately and sounds more compassionate. |

Also, working with somone who has BPD while that T has no experience sounds like it could go wrong very easily.

Supposedly there's differences between BPD and CPTSD.

Though a lot of BPD folks have trauma too.
PDs can be difficult to treat and in my opinion, a T needs to know about them and trained in treating them. I've Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD) which is often argued to be a more pervasive form of generalised Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), and frankly I only had limited improvement in therapies for SAD because the underlying PD issues around disorganised attachment, self worth etc weren't being targeted.
