Understanding Personality Disorders
BEFORE WE CAN SOLVE A PROBLEM WE FIRST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM…
Understanding personality disorders involves recognizing the profound impact of lifelong patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that characterize these mental health conditions. Individuals with personality disorders struggle with understanding emotions, tolerating distress, and relating to others, often leading to difficulties in various aspects of life, including family relationships, social interactions, work, and academic performance. The tendency to act impulsively further complicates their ability to navigate daily challenges. It’s essential to approach personality disorders with compassion and empathy, recognizing that they are complex mental health conditions that require specialized treatment and support. By promoting awareness, education, and access to appropriate interventions, we can create a more supportive environment for individuals with personality disorders to seek help and embark on the path to improved well-being and quality of life.

One of the most common, effective treatments for BPD and co-occurring substance use disorders are evidence-based therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

You’ll see it in different forms, such as individual therapy, group skills training, and phone coaching.
