Therapy with bpd

[sophie.ashworth]

In the summer i heard a psychotherapist talk at a conference and got a lot from it. I found her (professional) facebook and follow making time to listen to her videos. Heres the thing, i have bpd and am aware i have a need for therapy and have the urge to contact her and see if she can take me on? BUT i worry i have elevated her the way people with bpd can? do i take a step back or go for it?

it's worth going for if you think it would help. worst case scenario she says no but can refer you to similar therapist humans. :)

On her professional profile it should say whether she is taking on patients, if she is and she is either in your area or does online therapy I think it would be worth asking. If her professional Facebook says she isnt accepting new clients right now then I would avoid messaging.

If she isn't available you could always look for a therapist that uses the same type of therapy as her / that she talks about in her videos.
