Starting Borderline personality disorder counseling in Manassas

The therapists at Thriveworks have helped many clients find an effective plan for healing. Call us at (571) 778-3537 or simply book your appointment to get started today.

Borderline Personality Disorder: What Is It?

BPD symptoms may include:

  • Extreme fear of abandonment and taking extreme measures to avoid real or perceived separation.
  • Belligerent behavior—losing one’s temper, bitterness, use of sarcasm, outbursts of anger, starting fights, and more.
  • A pattern of broken relationships often begin by idealizing an individual and then swings to perceiving others as cruel and harmful.
  • Easily changing identities—altering one’s goals, values, and perceptions continuously.
  • Oscillating between extreme emotions: happiness and irritability, euphoria and anxiety, and so on.
  • Losing touch with reality for minutes or even hours at a time—experiencing paranoia.
  • Difficulty taking any kind of criticism and rejection.
  • Attempting or threatening to attempt suicide or self-injury (especially as a response to fear, criticism, or rejection).
  • An ever-present and ongoing feeling of emptiness.
  • Acting impulsively and engaging in unnecessary risks like reckless driving, unsafe sex, gambling, drug use, unfettered spending, self-sabotage, binge eating, and more.

DBP can cause many problems for people in and of itself, but it can also leave people at greater risk for other mental health disorders, like self-harm, eating disorders, depression, substance abuse, and addiction.

BPD’s Risk Factors

Almost two percent of people in the US suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder. Three times more women are diagnosed than men, but many in the mental health profession think that men are under-diagnosed, but they suffer at the same rates. How and why BPD develops in an individual is not entirely clear, but there do seem to be certain social, environmental, genetic, and physical factors that raise people’s risk for the disorder. Those risk factors may include….

  • A family history of BPD
  • Experiencing childhood abuse or neglect, especially at the hands of a caregiver or parent.
  • A hippocampus that is reduced in size (this is the area of the brain that controls stress responses).
  • As a child, experiencing the death of a parent or caregiver.

These are believed to disrupt the normal attachment process, and they may create maladaptive behaviors in an individual.

BPD’s Treatments

Borderline Personality Disorder can cause substantial harm in an individual’s life, but with treatment, many people can mitigate the harm and live a well-adapted life. Skilled therapists often create personalized treatment plans that meet an individual’s needs and circumstances, but those plans often involve Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a form of treatment that teaches coping and healing skills like:

  • Mindfulness: Helping people become more aware and observant of what they are feeling and sensing in their bodies and minds. Mindfulness emphasizes observation without judgment.
  • Emotional regulation: These are the skills people need to recognize what they are feeling and respond appropriately.
  • Distress tolerance: Life is full of ups and downs, and distress tolerance helps people cope with its inevitable difficulties.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness: Relationships are important for an individual’s overall well-being, and interpersonal effectiveness teaches people the skills they need to build and maintain many different kinds of healthy relationships.

I started with Thriveworks and Lisa 3-4 months ago and I was nervous about telling a "stranger" my deepest issues and things I'm not always comfortable admitting myself. I have to say she has been amazing through an really tough relationship break and other things I was or am going through in life. She makes you feel comfortable and truly listens, providing support and options for situations which allow me to be able to look at situations differently. She has made an incredible improvement on my life and I always look forward to meeting with her. It has become a breath of fresh air for me. She is amazing and I consider her a friend. You can't go wrong.
