Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
I don't actually use this diagnosis. In most cases, the presenting issues are a response to interpersonal traumas that occurred in childhood (developmental trauma). A quality therapeutic alliance and the use of effective coping skills are especially critical for this population. A good fit between therapist and client is important in most therapies but is paramount here. Collaboration is essential.

BPD is a disorder that causes great difficulty in emotional regulation and emotional control. There can be extreme mood swings, emotional outbursts, impulsive anger, turbulent relationships and idealization and devaluation. BPD can mimic other disorders, thus it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. There is a belief that it is centered around emotional manipulation, yet that is not the case. There is a very high comorbidity with other issues such as substance abuse or self-harm as well. Suicidality is high among BPD due to the consensus that they see the world in only stark black and white, without the ability to reference and evaluate how things actually are. Therapy can greatly impact BDP symptoms and provide relief from this disorder.
