T suggested Imago among other things.

[Think About It...]

This is a follow up to a post I left this morning.

My first appointment this morning to see if we are a good fit. Two other Ts I saw simply said "get out" of the relationship.

Good news and bad news. This therapist probably isn't what I need right now. She did have some good ideas though. She was able to tell me about a clinic nearby that does work with DBT. They ALSO take our insurance. So my uBPDh just ran out of excuses. I finally have something concrete to refer him to. If he doesn't take action to get help I will have no choice but to begin thinking seriously about moving on. He works nights now, so he has the time to go, it is affordable and readily available. He will fill out an intake form and be assessed so we no longer have to run with my armature diagnosis. We can find out what is really wrong.

I was also referred to a codependent group therapy. I'm waiting for a return call to see if it is either affordable or if they take my insurance.

She suggested Imago therapy for us as a couple. I really think she was just pushing it because it is her thing, not necessarily because it was a good fit for us.
Has anyone else ever heard of this?

 Imago was also suggested for us, before my H recovered and it wouldnt work because he lacked the skills for being able  to handle MC in a healthy way back then.

  I would put the emphasis on your codependancy group   and his getting into DBT.

One thing we discovered, as a couple, was that when he was recovered from BPD and I from codependancy, we did NOT have issues as a couple. We were quite compatible and years later, continue to be going very solid and strong!

  This is great progress, by the way...get working on you and let him get into DBT..it takes alot of time and hard work, but in a few years, you could be much, much happier!
