Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques may be employed to identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies could be integrated to address emotional dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties, emphasizing skills such as distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. My hope is to provide a comprehensive framework for individuals with borderline personality disorder to cultivate self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and foster more stable relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is often considered the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, offering a comprehensive approach that addresses emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and self-destructive behaviors.

Lastly, incorporating Narrative Therapy techniques, clients explore their life experiences and challenges from a contextual standpoint, empowering them to reconstruct their self-narrative and find new meaning in their journey towards healing and self-discovery.
