Hi there!
For those of you that searched and found a therapist to help you from dealing with a mother with BPD traits...how did you find your therapist? Is there somewhere online to search for one?
Thanks,
Natalie
Things I did..
-phone consultations, most will talk for 5-30 minutes for free to see if it's the right fit
-asked if they had done therapy themselves
-asked if they had dealt with their own family of origin issues
I think it's also based on what your issues are that you want resolved. For me, I have a lot of anxiety issues, so I googled therapy for PTSD, anxiety attacks, etc. I've done loads of CBT and it hasn't done much for me so I have also researched some modalities I'd like to try like EMDR. A lot of people have success with CBT, though, so please don't think I'm saying don't try it. Good luck! I have my first appointment in February.
