The reason my ex T recommended DBT is because I have some BPD traits (DBT is the recommended treatment for BPD)... I tend to idealize or totally disconnect in my relationships, so ex T seems to think a DBT therapist would help me with gaining interpersonal skills. Yes, you’re right - I did mention that. While this T hasn’t been practicing very long, she is heavily involved in research and in the sessions I’ve had with her thus far, she seems to really know her stuff, understands me and my struggles, is extremely non-judgemental (she knows what I did that led to ex T leaving), and is really able to challenge me. So yes, even tho she’s young and new, I think she’s good.
