CASE SCENARIO # 1 – BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER Sally had been calling her therapist all day, ever since their session this morning. But the therapist hadn’t called her back, even though all her messages said this was an emergency. She was sure her therapist was angry at her and was probably going to drop her as a client, then she’d have no one, she’d be abandoned by the only person in the world she could talk to. Sally was upset and crying as she began to run the razor blade across her arm. As the blood trickled out, she began to calm down. Then her therapist called and asked what the problem was. Sally was sobbing as she told her therapist that she was cutting her arm because the therapist didn’t care anymore that she was abandoning Sally just like everyone else in her life.
