I assume then that you have worked with people exhibiting this type of problem

Can you talk about some of what you learned in this process and how successful

you were?

People don't come to you for the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, but it usually becomes apparent over time. I haven't tried to "treat" it, so can't report any results, positive or negative. I will say, however, that when my mom's dementia grew worse, I decided I needed to remove other major stressors from my life, so I fired certain patients, some of whom I suspected of BPD.
One of my teachers told us that after taking the case of a particular woman, she realized she'd be attempting to treat a black hole -- think of BPD that way. So she cheerfully refunded the patient's money and recommended some other practitioners, presumably homeopaths of which she was not overly fond.
Peace,

While I understand your feelings/position from a practitioner and practical concern, it really
saddens me when I think of my daughter as a lost cause regarding her relationship with me

and other aspects of her life.

Tanya, I'm so sorry for you. It's unbearable to think of any family member, let alone one's child, as a lost cause. Perhaps some other healing modality would help her. Don't know why, but shamanic healing comes to mind. At any rate, the impetus has to come from her, which will take time, if it happens. Sometimes we just have to back off and let them find their own way.

I should have added to my earlier message that I much prefer dealing with significant physical pathology, which is one of the reasons I pruned those patients from my practice. I see the remedies needed more clearly and get better results with physical problems. I'm not saying BPD is intractable, only that I'm not the best person to deal with it, given my track record as a homeopath and what else is going on in my life.

Peace,
Dale

Thanks Dale. It is heartbreaking for me but have been trying to reconcile myself to the fact that my daughter

will never be willing to make changes. She is not talking with me now but about a yr or so ago she described her

brother as incapable of dealing with his old childhood pains. I got off the phone and thought she was really
making a statement about herself.
I think it good that you can see your own style, strengths and weaknesses and work within that parameter.
