You're convinced something about you is broken. Maybe the people around you or your experiences have even reinforced it. If you’ve ever struggled with a personality disorder - or a combination of several - you likely know that pain, and you've likely felt the discrimination and biases against those diagnoses, including when looking for treatment. You've likely felt consistently misunderstood, maybe including in therapy. It's not great, and it's why offering a nonjudgemental space for you to feel free to show up exactly as you are is paramount to me.
