QUESTION:

Dear Dr. Heller,

Life with my borderline husband has been pure hell. Medicines and therapy have made things worse. In the past year we have both been arrested due to his uncontrollable violence, neither of us has EVER been arrested before in our lives.

Just when things were seeming hopeless, I realized that you, this wonderful man I have read so much about, are very close to us. We live Outside of Orlando. My question to you is, is it really possible to actually get an appointment with you? Can it be as easy as it sounds on your web site?

When I saw your fees I nearly feel out of my chair. We have spent so much time, money, and effort getting nowhere. Is it really true that hope exists and I don't have to relinquish my husband who I love more than anything in the world to the horror of BPD? If the answer to these questions is yes, then I hope to be seeing you as soon as possible. Either way I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving hope to the hopeless, you are a remarkable human being.

I hope you will continue to improve the lives of so many. God bless you.

ANSWER:

I appreciate the kind words. I have many, many patients from Orlando and would be happy to see you. I genuinely enjoy treating the BPD because of the enormous possibility of helping people have better lives and understand the goodness inside of themselves. The information is accurate.
