Borderline personality disorder should not be an accusation but should be a means of understanding how someone attaches to others and to themselves. It can come with a great deal of shame and fear. I believe that, over time, we can help you get to know and understand yourself such that you can respond differently in triggering situations. People with borderline are simply continuing what they had to do to survive before. With patience, courage, and compassion, I believe positive change is possible.

Due to BPD, you may have an intense fear of abandonment or instability, and difficulty tolerating being alone. personality disorder usually begins by early adulthood. Effective treatment for BPD includes individual therapy sessions, skills training in a group setting, and phone coaching as needed.

Helping clients and families identify what they can change and what they can’t change is a major goal in DBT. In therapy, we help loved ones minimize their contributions to the problems (by invalidating) while also helping coach them in how to be real, transparent, and how to set their own limits.
Learning how and when to validate is a huge part of the process.
