No one to ask
 
I am doing DBT, I have a diagnosis of BPD, every week I am hassled about commitment,

Why continue with DBT

Facts: my self harming is life threatening and I'm exhausted because of it.

I'm tired of being controlled by my diagnosis and I am attracted to my therapist, the last bit being the most important, but is it hindering any progress, I am also a married woman and my therapist is also a woman, not the first woman that I've been attracted to but is it normal to be attracted to your therapist and does it make it less meaningful? I need something though as I used to think I controlled my SH but now I think it is controlling me.

Thanks

I'm worried about mentioning attachment issues as I'm afraid she'll remove me from the course and I would not have gained anything.

As to commitment, it all revolves around self harming, I'm afraid go down the total abstinence model as it has been my only way of coping yet my therapist is of the opinion that it is the only way to go and show that I am committed, I want evidence that DBT works before I can relinquish my need to SH.
