It's my pleasure. I get a lot of joy out of helping others understand BPD. It's my life's work.

A very good question, a bit like meeting the right husband 🙂 I was assigned to mine in hospital and stayed with her 20 years later. I have had several unsuitable therapists before that. It's hit and miss and you do spend money and get nothing for it at times till you find the right one. There are plenty of good ones out there.

I wish you all the best 🙂

http://www.bpdfoundation.org.au/ Try this website for therapists and supports. I am the consumer rep there. There is an email address or a website contact sheet. I only know and have knowledge of supports and therapists in WA. Spectrum is also fantastic if you live in Victoria. We are getting more information every day and are putting it all up on the website as it becomes available.

Some therapists in the cities skype with clients. You could always phone and ask them.
