Hello. I'm waiting for an official diagnosis from the NHS (UK) and hopefully DBT, however I've been seeing a private psychologist and while she hasn't diagnosed me (she can't really), after hearing what I had to say she suggested compassion-focused therapy. We've only had 2 sessions so far but already it seems to be helping, at least it's giving me hope and with optimism comes marginally better control over my emotions. It seems to share some characteristics with DBT, including radical acceptance and challenging my behaviours, and it's pretty well underpinned by psychology which helps me because I like to understand what I'm doing. I've read some studies which show that compassion-focused therapy can be useful for patients with BPD, but I was wonder if anyone had any experience?
