I am a recovering borderline. I was severely abused as a small child and grew up with a nasty case of C-PTSD pretty much like every other borderline I have ever run into (which is now over 100). And what I learned from that (continuing) experience is that borderlinism is a compendium of personality disorders polarized along a basic schism of fear of abuse (and needing to push others away) vs. fear of being alone and helpless.
I am not responsible for my disease, but I am responsible for my recovery. This is how I did it:
To find the clinicians who know how to use these psychotherapies, I looked here, and here, and here, and (for DBT specialists in particular) here. If you dig a little on each page, you will be able to see which therapies they use. Then interview them as though they were applying for a job with your company. Most MD / psychiatrists, btw, are not therapists themselves (they are medication specialists), but can refer you to those who are, and are often -- though not always -- excellent sources of referral.
