Reply to "The stigma endures"

Thanks Draggers. The truth is that this is a phenomenal, groundbreaking CHANGE for so many people. It is FINALLY a beacon of hope in a diagnosis that has been treated so poorly by society and most importantly by the Psychological community. It is interesting to me that NOW that they know how to work with it and often times CURE it (yes cure it) they are embracing it, studying it, giving respect and validity to it. Before when it was not known how to help let alone whether it was possible to help someone with BPD the diagnosis was used as a professional insult. There are many many people who have been mistreated and indeed harmed by this attitude. I have to work to let the stigma go. I have to move on myself. And I am grateful to those like Marsha Linehan who have finally stepped forward and given this somewhat common, extremely painful disorder a boatload of hope.

It is basically the new thing in psychology to study the hell out of bpd and to treat it. FINALLY!! lol
