Also a BPD. I see therapists on and off. I’ll do a session every two weeks and then drop off, sometimes I’ll find a new therapist because I want something new.

That's not good and not bad. As far as I know, if you want to help with BPD by therapy, its better to have the same therapist, given you two have a plan to improve certain aspects.

I'm currently seeing a female therapists that runs some groups for DBT for BPD; but given that I'm (highly)functional and male(that's just me being mean), it's just 5% of the sessions(after an occasional flare up) that she acknowledges my BPD.

Yeah. I’m sad that men with BPD are recognised so much less... I had a psychiatrist in a big hospital tell me that my diagnosis is wrong because men can’t get BPD.

To whoever downvoted GP: please don’t unless you actually have experience.
