re: 12 Year Old Girl with BPD

Yeah I don’t think you’re alone on that. The only thing I can add that I’ve picked up on from observation is to make a diligent effort to avoid yourself, other family, friends and anyone else to “tell her” she’s bad or this or that negative comments regarding this thing because the whole negative reinforcement and self-fulfilling prophecy (which has different names for it perhaps) - those concepts are very real and very meaningful/consequential. So I suppose to the contrary make all possible efforts to reinforce in her all sorts of positive thinking.
