Trust is a major issue for individuals with borderline personality disorder, and maintaining open, honest, and clear communication can help build a therapeutic alliance and establish trust. A is not necessarily the best choice as discussing past abuses can be triggering for some clients and may not be relevant to all cases. C is not the best choice as trust issues should be addressed directly in session.
