Hope from his T

[cbusmom]

My dsbpd 22 and I see the same therapist. I honestly needed someone that I could just talk to as I have mentioned before how much my H avoids any emotionally charged conversations.  The bonus is that I am able to help the T to see more quickly the true extent of his bpd traits.
Yesterday at my session she told me something that filled me with such hope. She says that ds is truly open to getting help. He might still be in the land of denial in that he thinks his anger and splitting on people are totally justified but according to her she thinks she will be able to help him with the DBT. She says this his willingness and openness to the therapy gives him a huge boost with his chances to have a very normal life.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders
