And if you could find one who specializes in DBT, then all the better. I also think they need to be in counseling separately first before doing it together.<br /><br />CONGRATULATIONS on six days without a cigarette. FWIW, I will be thinking of you and sending you strength to continue.Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518858062969978457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549590948850807878.post-85373624994671931472011-02-13T21:17:34.819-06:002011-02-13T21:17:34.819-06:00good luck. both with the quitting smoking and the ...good luck. both with the quitting smoking and the situation with your sister and neice.<br />I quit smoking in 2000 (for the 2nd time.) It isn't easy. But hang in there. <br />I don't know much about cutting. Other than a few things I've read, and some things I've seen on tv. I recently found out my neice had a problem with cutting. Hers was a stressful reaction to a tense relationship with her mother. My brother & my sister-in-law divorced when the kids were about 10 & 12. My brother remarried to a very sweet woman that really cares about both kids. Their mother well... her main interest is in herself. She had her own issues, and took much of it out on her neice. Going from telling her she was worthless and she hated her and wanted nothing more to do with her, to wanting her to come over so she could act as a caterer/wait staff for a dinner party. Her relationship with my nephew was totally opposite. He was her bud, and she would take him around the world on vacations so she didn't have to travel alone. I always felt sorry for my neice because of all that. I never knew she had an issue with cutting. <br />My neice is now 27 and doing well. She's become a very fine person. And seems to be in a much better space.<br /><br />So again, good luck.MS Day Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323233788366076180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549590948850807878.post-25613625924565782332011-02-13T13:42:27.494-06:002011-02-13T13:42:27.494-06:00Blinbeard, I congratulate you on quitting, and for...Blinbeard, I congratulate you on quitting, and for the fact that your stressors have not caused you to backslide. I, too, feel that your sister needs to attend counseling with your niece. If only Princess goes, there may never be a resolution. With your calm demeanor, perhaps you could also attend and act as a buffer. <br />As a teacher and principal, I used to see a great deal of "cutting" in adolescent girls, and "choking" in boys. Their brains aren't fully developed, and they just cannot handle pressure; so they turn to other means of escape. <br />I will keep you all in my prayers, and please let us know how things transpire.<br />Peace,<br />MuffMuffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549590948850807878.post-17832010699022148252011-02-13T10:54:12.811-06:002011-02-13T10:54:12.811-06:00I'm not trying to butt into the details of you...I'm not trying to butt into the details of your business too much, but I thought I would offer a suggestion. You mitt want to try to see if there is a Clinical Psychologist in your area that specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for your wife. This therapy model is specifically for BPD and may help your wife.Tippy Topplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813839474814127757noreply@blogger.com
