Borderline Personality Disorder
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Borderline Personality Disorder is an illness that makes emotions difficult to manage. One may have difficulty relating to others, coping with stress, reckless behavior, strong feelings of isolation and abandonment, and challenges understanding other people’s points of view. BPD is sometimes also called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) as the name is more descriptive to the actual condition.
BPD commonly presents in adolescence or early adulthood with intense moods, suicidal thoughts, addictive behaviors, inability to maintain jobs and relationships, and paranoid thoughts. Because of the extreme mood swings, BPD is frequently misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder, however, the mood changes with BPD are typically much shorter in overall duration.
Treatment is typically a combination of psychotherapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. There are no medications specifically to treat BPD but there are support groups that can help when struggling to cope with these significant emotions. People living with BPD are able to improve their lives with the help of therapy and other kinds of support.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often stems from a history of trauma, and those who experience it deserve compassionate and effective care. My approach to BPD treatment integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a holistic framework that incorporates mindfulness, meditation, and somatic practices. This multifaceted approach helps individuals understand and manage the emotional intensity and reactivity often associated with BPD, cultivating self-compassion and creating a foundation for healthier relationships. I am also pursuing further certification in iRest Yoga Nidra to deepen my understanding and expand the tools I can offer to support your healing journey.
