It could be because Bubba has a tendancy to hit me over the head with my diagnosis of BPD. After you inform the client of the dx, be sure in future conversations not to jump to conclusions.... If she (is she, right..) says her old man is a jerk, don't assume she's using black and white thinking. Maybe her old man really is a jerk..... My old man is a jerk, however anytime I say my old man's a jerk, my therapist claims, "Oh BPD this, BPD that..." rather than listening to why I think my old man's a jerk..... Just be cautious of jumping to conclusions because of a dx..... Letely though, he's come to realize that my old man really is a jerk :) I like that...
