So, I’m still in the newer stages of learning about the practical treatment of personality disorders and was wondering why some therapists call a Borderline diagnosis the “fatal” diagnosis. My questions:

1. Why fatal? Is the BL client so hard to treat, and why or why not?

2. How do you keep yourself healthy during the therapy session?

3. Do you have a mentor or therapist that‘s written on the topic?

4. How long have you been in the profession?

I recently retired after a 42 year career. I’ve always worked in some capacity since I delivered morning and evening paper at the aged of 11. Post-retirement and celebrations, it’s a new life and world. I travel, invest, smoke cigars and ride motorcycles. Now I need a new purpose. AMA
