Personality disorders are not uncommon. In fact, according to a study by the American Psychological Association, of every 10 people who get help for mental health issues, 3 of them are diagnosed with a personality disorder. While there are many types of personality disorders, most of them fall into three categories:
There are some personality disorders that don’t fall under any of these categorizations.
While long-term treatment will vary based on a particular client’s needs, almost everyone with a personality disorder will begin by getting their feelings under control. These objectives can be met through medication, counseling, or a combination of both.
For most patients, one focus of therapy will be understanding and changing core beliefs. Core beliefs are beliefs a patient has about themselves. In some cases, they also have core beliefs about family, friends, and others. These are rigid, inflexible beliefs that generally begin in childhood and are hard to let go of – even when there’s evidence that they’re not valid.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Durham, NC, we help clients understand these core beliefs and explore ways to change them. Every client’s sessions are customized for individual needs.
