The term personality disorders are frequently used, often out of context, in conversation to refer to a group of medical conditions. There is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding around this term. I have worked with individuals who have these conditions, and I have witnessed how they can be very challenging to manage.
A 'personality disorder' is a dreaded diagnosis for many. Partly due to the stigma it attracts, but also because this umbrella term encompasses a varied set of personal and interpersonal difficulties that are persistent (are not confined in set period of a person's life), problematic and pervasive (affect more than one area of life).
I have an extensive experience working with individuals who either meet criteria for a personality disorder to experience some personality disorder traits. If you think this might be the case for you and would like to explore whether psychotherapy might be right for you, please get in touch.
