I agree that a lot of people with c-ptsd are mis labeled as having BPD. However, I don't think they are the same thing at all. I just think Ts are quick to label people with certain traits without looking deeper. Regardless I find it very concerning that this therapist has never heard of BPD and thought it was split personality (which isn't the proper terminology anymore). I'd want to see his credentials.
