Dr. Nicholas Jenner is a counseling psychotherapist in online private practice working with individuals, couples and groups, dealing with codependency issues, severe depression, bipolar, personality disorders, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders and other mental health issues.
He has been practicing online for many years and recognized early that online therapy was a convenient method for people to meet their therapist. Working outside the box, he goes that extra mile to make sure clients have access to help between sessions, something that is greatly appreciated. He also gives part of his spare time up to mentor psychology students in a university setting.
And for those of us that do actually have a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, it confuses and stigmatizes the disorder even further, which if I’m honest, doesn’t need any more help. Nobody wishes to join the Cluster B’s if they have any choice in the matter I can assure you.
I can see though that there is a problem, and although BPD does certainly involve Codependent traits, it is by no means simply just a Codependent problem.
This is an issue, I also see in my work. Better information is needed in this area. As always, I appreciate your work and insights Dr. Jenner.
