Hi, I'm new to this forum and still trying to navigate it. But I am an older person in my fifties who has been diagnosed with BPD, kind of late but I always knew that there was something quite wrong. I am glad it is recognized more often as trauma issues. But there have been lots of triggers lately that have brought my BPD to the surface again. I have been having some problems with my therapist around boundaries at the moment.
