Hello! Thank you so much for your time! Many patients with BPD often have labile, unpredictable emotions and volatile reactions particularly to interpersonal tensions/conflicts. As a therapist myself, I have had my fair share of challenging patients with BPD testing boundaries, splitting and devaluing me, leading sometimes to strong emotions in myself/negative counter transference. As a therapist with BPD, how do you manage to handle these experiences yourself? Do you find yourself relating to your patients with BPD differently/do you see yourself in them either in a positive or negative way?
