Thanks for sharing more of your experience. Actually, my experiences with DBT also come from reading the book and my Behavior Therapy class. I am not formally trained in DBT. But I use many of the principles with a number of clients as I really like the approach. I agree with how CBT only seems to skim the surface. Very helpful for developing skills, but not at getting at pain. Glad you are working with someone who is trained in this and obviously more comfortable with it.
Also, thanks for clarifying about trauma. My post seems to suggest that all people with BPD have had trauma, and I know that's not true. I guess I was being sloppy. Certainly many have inner pain, as do those without the dx. Again, glad that your T is a good fit for you.
Take care!
