As for the borderline thing yes we are hard at times.I am so tired of being borderline. So sick of it. She is trained in CBT but not DBT. I wanted to do the DBT. I heard the DBT is really good. Yet I still get them confused.
She is a licensed Psychologist.Plus many other letters after her name. Not that this means anything. As soon as sit down she is like reading my mind. We are straight to the point. With Michael, I had to ask him to ask me questions. But he was still awesome. But with Michael my time would be up and I wouldn't have said anything. But the time I spent in there felt so good. But it is different with Laberta.
The very first day somehow we got on the conversation of my father. I think I mentioned how I felt as if Michael was my father.(she asked about him) And so many issues about my father were talked about. So many things I have always wanted to say and never did. Thoughts I had, feelings, abandonment issues. And she was right there. I actually cried real tears. Michael never saw me cry. We never really talked about my dad. Not once Michael had decided that yes, My dad is a jerk. Then no more dad talk. But Laberta explained and is trying to convince me that my dad is the one who is losing out not loving me. That he is the one who doesn't know how to love me. Not that I am bad or stupid. That no matter how hard I try I cannot live up to his expectations. She wants me to know that I am valuable. I am valuable no matter what he thinks.
I just hope I am doing the right thing. I think Laberta is definitely more helpful but I sure do miss Michael.
What type questions should I ask her?
