Title: So happy for progress Post by: MissyM on September 26, 2014, 10:08:05 PM Tonight my dBPDh was dysregulated after he had therapy. I tried to validate his feelings but he kept projecting them onto me. I finally said I didn't want to have conversations like this, I am not responsible for how he feels and I do want to be supportive. I then said that we had a few hours alone and I would like to enjoy our time together. I asked him if he could deescalate and he said, yes he would use some distraction techniques. It worked and we were able to turn things around and have a lovely evening!
Proud of myself for setting a boundary in a loving way and proud of him for responding in a loving way. Really wouldn't have thought this was possible a few months ago! Title: Re: So happy for progress Post by: takingandsending on September 26, 2014, 11:49:52 PM That is awesome! :)
I am so happy for you both. Thanks for sharing the success story! |
