I've been posting lately about how I relate to many of the BPD symptoms. I brought this up with my clinical psychologist, and he went down the DSM criteria one by one and asked me different questions about it. There's no doubt that I have some level of every single one of the criteria, at least to a moderate degree (or at least most of them), but he says that my actual behavior isn't indicative of BPD. He was pretty suggestive when going through it (I would say "well, I do get angry and say things I don't mean" and he would say "but it doesn't sound like it happens often and to extreme degrees?"). He seems somewhat 'against' the idea of me being BPD, and said that we aren't going to do DBT (he does CBT instead). He said they would work on all the problems I mentioned that I relate to BPD, though.

I can't tell if this is a genuinely professional diagnosis that I am not BPD, or if he has a particular problem with it. He said that even he could relate to some of the points of most DSM disorder to some degree, if he spends enough time on the internet. I've already shared a good bit about myself with this person, so it'd be rough for me to move onto another psychologist. Any ideas? Should I just roll with this and see where it takes me?
