Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Borderline personality disorder is often misunderstood and unfairly stigmatized. Individuals living with BPD experience emotions deeply and intensely, which can affect relationships, self-image, and emotional regulation.

These experiences are not a character flaw. They are rooted in emotional sensitivity, past experiences, and patterns developed over time—often as a way to cope with overwhelming feelings or early instability.

Common Experiences
Individuals with BPD may experience:

• Intense emotional responses that feel difficult to manage

• Fear of abandonment or rejection

• Shifts in self-image or sense of identity

• Challenges maintaining stable relationships

• Impulsive behaviors during periods of distress

A Respectful, Supportive Approach
Care for BPD focuses on skill development, emotional regulation, and strengthening a sense of stability and self-understanding. Therapy emphasizes validation, structure, and practical tools to navigate emotions and relationships more safely.

With appropriate support, many individuals living with BPD experience significant growth, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of control over their emotional lives.
