Quick recap of my current situation: hit a low point where I seemed to be stuck, and it was becoming a big problem for me. Reached out to a therapist for help.

I was diagnosed as PTSD (complex, prolonged, take your pick.) Started EMDR therapy, quite willingly. Not real pleased about some of the "side effects" I was experiencing, but was working through it, feeling good about it. Then, some stuff came out of my therapy sessions, that became "red flags" (in her words) to my therapist.

She has now diagnosed me as also having BPD. She is now telling me the PTSD stuff is to be put on hold, and my therapy is to switch over to DBT for the BPD first. Uhm, ok. I can accept that BPD might be a correct diagnosis for me, and that the DBT therapy could be beneficial to me - but there's a problem. A pretty big one.

Part of her planned therapy is a 2 hour, once a week, group session, spanning a year. I've done group sessions before, other things, wasn't a problem. However, I am finding myself feeling highly resistant to agreeing to it now. I honestly don't think it's because I am resisting the diagnosis, or the work involved, or an unwillingness to receive treatment / make changes. I really can't put my finger on why I am resisting the group part of this, and so strongly. Yet my feelings about resisting are growing stronger, anyway, and I don't know what to do about it.

Obviously, I need to discuss this with my therapist, and will do so this week. But meanwhile, and also, does anyone here have any insight on why I'm feeling this way, or what I can do to overcome it?
