I’ve always had a hard time opening up to my therapist. I try to express the depth of what I’m feeling and how awful I truly feel. I just don’t feel like I do a good job at expressing what is wrong with me enough for her to understand. On the other side, I am high functioning, have a job, get good grades etc. this makes me feel like my therapist overlooks my problem as well because of this. I have also brought up my concern with BPD and mentioned all the symptoms that I show, but I don’t feel as though she even looked into it. Any suggestions on how to tell my therapist how I’m truly feeling? And any suggestions on how to bring BPD concerns back up with her?

I wrote a more detailed reply to your post. Then my screen froze (which seems to be happening to me a lot here on PC lately) & I lost the whole thing.
 Anyway, lacking the energy to reproduce it all, I'll simply offer you links to some articles, from PC's archives, that (hopefully) may be of some help with putting your concern into perspective:10 Reasons You Can't Say How You Feel 6 Ways to Open Up and Talk in Therapy Talk the Talk: 10 Tips for Starting Therapy 6 Ways to Open Up and Talk in Therapy Therapists Spill: 10 Tips for Making the Most of Therapy   P.S. Here's a link to another article that (hopefully) may be of some help: https://psychcentral.com/lib/tips-fo...erapist/?all=1

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
