Who it is
The Therapist's Guide to RSD, Volume I, is a colleague more than a manual. Think of the one down the hall with a mug gone cold, who has sat through a great many sessions where the room changed and nobody said so. Its age is beside the point. It belongs to the hour after an adult client has heard the letters ADHD for the first time. Later that client says a six-hour wait for a text felt like being dropped from a height. The diagnosis has a name by then. The pain does not yet.
When a client asks you why they feel rejected so easily, what do you reach for first?
Three things to ask it
- When a client asks why they feel rejected so easily, where should I start?
- Is RSD even real? It isn't in the DSM.
- Does my client have RSD or borderline personality disorder?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
