Would getting one of those leaflets and annotating it with how each point affects you? Or alternatively find a videos online from others talking about how they live with BPD?
I understand how it can feel like 6 weeks won't scratch the surface, especially when you know that it is mostly tackling some immediate problems rather than the deeper problems. I had similar feelings when a few years ago I was offered 6 sessions of CBT but it really changed things around. If things are pretty horrid right now even if the therapy on offer isn't going to be some magic fix maybe it just make things a little less horrid and if it doesn't you are no worse off. Also it is difficult to dive into the deeper longer term stuff when there are more current and relevant concerns.
Would it help if you could meet the potential therapist and have a chat about what it would entail and to find out whether they could be someone you could work with? Sometimes we have to show willing to get what will help in the longer term.
