Borderline Personality Disorder Therapy in Chesterfield, VA—Counselors

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can harm the way an individual thinks about themselves and how they relate to others. However, many people who go to therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder are able to manage their symptoms and live a healthy, happy life.

The therapists at Thriveworks Chesterfield have worked with many clients, helping them find treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. We have seen the difference a holistic and personalized treatment plan can make when an individual has BPD. Reach out today for help.

Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder

The symptoms of BPD can begin as people are in the late-teens to early adulthood years. Such symptoms include…

  • A deep-seated fear of being forsaken, abandoned, left behind, and going to great lengths to avoid any kind of separation.
  • A pattern of intense, rocky relationships. BPD can cause people to idealize others and then sink into deep disappointment when those unrealistic expectations are not met.
  • Shifting easily and often between different goals, identities, values, and perceptions.
  • Living with times of paranoia that may last for minutes to hours wherein people lose touch with reality.
  • A sensitivity to being criticized, even to healthy, constructive criticism.
  • Putting oneself in danger unnecessarily through impulsive and risky actions like daredevil driving, unsafe sex, spending sprees, gambling, drug use, self-sabotage, binge eating, and more.
  • Attempting or threatening to attempt suicide or self-injury as a way to cope with criticism, fear, or rejection.
  • Fluctuating between extreme emotions: euphoria and irritation, happiness and anger, desperation and delight.
  • An on-going feeling of emptiness.
  • Belligerence—outburst of anger, sarcasm, and bitterness.

Treatment Options for BPD

When people are diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, there are a number of treatment options available to them, including different types of therapies and medications. It is often best to work with a therapist to find the right an individualized treatment plan, but often, those plans focus upon coping and emotional skills like…

  • Emotional regulation is the ability to know what one is feeling, process it, and respond accordingly.
  • Mindfulness is growing one’s awareness of their body, feelings, thoughts, and more. Its focus is to pay attention to oneself without judging what one finds.
  • Distress tolerance is similar to resiliency. Life is full of disappointments, frustrations, and setbacks. Distress tolerance allows people to respond to the ups and downs of life in a healthy way.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness increases an individual’s ability to function well in a wide variety of relationships. It gives people the skills they need to pursue professional connections, family harmony, deep friendships, acquaintances, romantic partners, and more.
