My concern was that this woman seemed to bear extreme hostility to the people she was/has been working with. Surely this is an barrier to a healthy therapeutic relationship? Nobody has suggested that you personally are unfit to practice because of the past BPD diagnosis, in fact I would think a former sufferer would have greater insight and compassion than a non-sufferer. It was the perceived lack of these qualities in 'Dr. Sanity's' posts that disturbed me. While acknowledging that all therapists are human and have human frailties, I strongly feel that 'Dr. Sanity' should not work with borderline patients while she holds such extreme prejudices against them. How much progress could you have made if people like 'Dr. Sanity' worked at Menningers, for example? I understand why this is a sensitive issue for you, and for those of us who suspect we have been abused by doctors, psychiatrists and therapists with untreated borderline personality disorder this is a sensitive issue too.
