Psychodynamic treatment is focused on helping individuals with personality disorders. These are complex conditions that are varied and require an individualized approach to address the individual's self concept, mood regulation, interpersonal relationships, and work functioning. A variety of techniques will be utilized, which may focus on the relationship with the therapist as a direct example of the difficulties encountered.
Personality disorder diagnoses can come with the stigma that we are inherently flawed. This could not be further from the truth if we believe that change is always possible.
Personality disorders are often the result of finding creative ways to survive challenging early experiences. Honoring these responses and developing more flexible ways for navigating relationships and meeting needs is essential in improving your quality of life.
