Not BPD but my experience with CBT and anxiety was that I could see my response was illogical but I didn't believe myself it at the same time. So when the therapist asked about this assumption I had that influenced my thinking he was able to show me it was illogical, I was able to say 'I know in my head', but at the same time - I don't believe you in my gut. His solution to this was exposure. If you are put in the situation and you personal assumption is proven to be untrue or it's is sufficiently challenged enough times then you can start to believe it's illogical.
