🦎 “Once Upon a Time There Was a Grey Chameleon” – A Deep Dive into the Therapeutic Journey with Borderline Personality Disorder In this captivating case study, Dr. Hamid Peseschkian shares an intimate, dual-perspective account of treating a patient with #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder (BPD) using #PositivePsychotherapy (PPT). The article weaves together the voices of both therapist and patient over the course of 33 sessions and more than 500 pages of patient-written reflections and “homework.”What makes this narrative stand out is its emotionally rich, multi-layered approach—combining bibliotherapy, structured writing, transference work, and storytelling as therapeutic tools. The patient’s evolving insights into her relationships, emotional regulation, and core conflicts are documented with honesty and vulnerability, culminating in a poetic metaphor: the journey of a grey chameleon rediscovering its colours.Dr. Peseschkian not only describes the methodology but also reflects on countertransference, session dynamics, and the delicate art of timing therapeutic interventions—especially in the treatment of emotionally intense disorders like BPD.📖 Read the full article here:“Once Upon a Time There Was a Grey Chameleon” by Hamid Peseschkiandoi.org/10.52982/lkj211This piece is a must-read for psychotherapists, students, and anyone interested in how Positive Psychotherapy can meaningfully address complex emotional struggles through structured creativity and deep human connection. ...
