Rebecca, Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Receiving a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder can be a frightening and confusing experience. If you have received this diagnosis please "give yourself a break". Healing and growth are possible, and the fact that you are reading this blurb suggests that you have all you need to begin a process of recovery.
Often people who have received this diagnosis experienced a great deal of trauma, and neglect in their childhood. The patterns of thought and behavior you developed were likely necessary for your survival into adulthood. Unfortunately, these same skills may now be leaving you feeling isolated, alienated and alone.
I believe that first a foremost it is important for us to develop a therapeutic relationship based on honesty and compassion. Additionally, I am informed by Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Dialectic Behavior Therapy.

The therapeutic approach selected for BPD can vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, severity of symptoms, and treatment objectives. The multifaceted nature of BPD is frequently treated with a combination of therapies and methods.
Therapy for BPD is frequently long-term, and the therapeutic relationship between the patient and therapist is essential for treatment success. Individuals with BPD must engage with mental health professionals with experience and knowledge in treating this complex disorder. Suppose you or someone you know is struggling with BPD. In that case, seeking assistance from a qualified mental health professional is recommended to develop an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan.
