Title: Would like to find Mirror Examples
Post by: Skye Byer on March 09, 2019, 06:33:34 AM
I've read SWOE (just finished it this week).  I'm re-reading it to better understand Sponge (I've been) and mirror (I'm not yet).  I'm not sure how to be a mirror.   I've been dealing with someone that I believe has BPD traits for 14 years. 

I'm just starting to use this site.  I'm sure what I'm looking for is already there.


Thanks for your help.

Hi SB
It is good to meet you although I am sorry for what brings you here. SWOES is a great book that helped me understand my relationship with my BPD son. Who in your life has BPD? Was it diagnosed ? What would mirroring look like for you?

Hi and welcome!

Can you give us examples of when you were a sponge so we can help you see how to turn that around?  It is hard to give examples without some details.

In the meantime, I hope you feel free to read and jump into other posts.  Having a support network is important and we all understand here.  Many of us probably share the same struggles.
