Borderline Personality Disorder therapists in Moscow, Russia RU

One of the main causes of BPD, besides other factors, is traumatic childhood experiences, such as abuse, neglect, or separation from caregivers. These experiences can lead to the formation of maladaptive schemas, which are deep-seated and pervasive patterns of thinking and behaving that are rigid, inflexible, and dysfunctional. Schemas can influence how a person perceives themselves, others, and the world, and can trigger negative emotions and reactions in certain situations. One of the main methods of treatment for BPD is schema therapy, which is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing these unhealthy schemas. Schema therapy combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and attachment theory. The therapy aims to help the person develop a more realistic and balanced self-image, recognize and respect the feelings and needs of others, and cope with stress and frustration. Schema therapy for BPD is a long-term therapy that can last from 1.5 to 3 years, depending on the severity of the disorder. The therapy involves three phases: assessment, change, and maintenance. The assessment phase involves identifying the person's schemas, coping styles, and modes (which are temporary states of mind that reflect different aspects of the person's personality). The change phase involves challenging and modifying the schemas using various techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, imagery rescripting. The maintenance phase involves consolidating the changes and preventing relapse. Schema therapy for BPD has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms, improving functioning, and enhancing quality of life. Research has indicated that schema therapy can reduce suicidal behaviors, self-harm, anger, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems in people with BPD. Schema therapy can also increase self-esteem, emotional stability, coping skills, and satisfaction with relationships. If you think you or someone you know may have BPD, it is important to seek professional help as soon as possible. Schema therapy can help you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals. You are not alone in this journey. There is hope for recovery.
