Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment in Raleigh, NC—Counselors and Therapists

BPD is a difficult diagnosis to hear, but many of its symptoms can be mitigated through mental health care. Therapy for BPD has helped many people regain the balance they need after a BPD diagnosis.

The therapists at Thriveworks in Raleigh offer treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. We have seen the instability that BPD can cause in an individual’s life, but we have also seen how the disorder’s symptoms can be managed so that people can live their own life. Reach out today for help.

Borderline Personality Disorder’s Symptoms and Signs

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) classifies ten different mental illnesses into a category it calls personality disorders. There are each marked by maladaptive behavior, but each has a unique flare. Borderline Personality Disorder’s uniqueness is characterized by volatility. People with BPD often experience instability in their relationships, emotions, and even their identity.

BPD’s volatility shows itself through symptoms and signs like…

  • Swinging between emotional extremes: euphoria and irritability, anxiety and happiness, and so forth.
  • Many broken and turbulent relationships: often, people with BPD idealize other people and then vilify them when they do not live up to expectations.
  • Shifting between different identities, goals, and values quickly.
  • Difficulty receiving any kind of criticism, exclusion, or rejection (even healthy ones, such as constructive criticism).
  • Being afraid of separation or abandonment and taking extreme action in response to a real or perceived threat of either.
  • Participating in risky, careless behavior that could sabotage one’s well-being such as gambling, daredevil driving, unsafe sex, self-sabotage, spending sprees, binge eating, drug use, et cetera.
  • Threatening or attempting suicide or self-injuries as a coping mechanism for rejection, criticism, or fear.
  • Outbursts of anger, sarcasm, bitterness and other forms of belligerence.
  • The on-going feeling of being empty.

BPD Risk Factors

Mental health professionals do not know exactly why Borderline Personality Disorder develops in some people but not other. It is estimated that in between 1 and 2 percent of people in the US have BPD, and certain social, physical, genetic, and environmental factors can increase an individual’s risk of the disorder developing, things like…

  • Loss of a caregiver or parent as a child.
  • Experiencing childhood trauma (particularly sexual, emotional, or physical abuse by a parent or caregiver).
  • A reduced hippocampus size (region of the brain that manages emotion and stress responses).
  • A genetic history of mental illness, especially BPD.

BPD’s Treatment Options

A quick glance at BPD’s symptoms shows the harm it can cause, but it is important to note that these symptoms are not inevitable. These symptoms may be manage and the harm mitigated with therapy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is at treatment that was cultivated to treat BPD specifically. It teaches healing skills like…

  • Emotional regulation – this skill helps people process their emotions in a way that is healthy and helpful to them instead of overwhelming them or sabotaging them.
  • Distress tolerance – it is normal to experience setbacks, letdowns, obstacles, and adversity in life. Distress tolerance is the skill that allows people to respond with resiliency to the rougher edges of life.
  • Mindfulness – is the skill of paying attention to oneself without judgment for what one finds. Mindfulness notices random thoughts, bodily sensations, fleeting feelings, and more. It takes note of what is happening.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness – relationships matter for mental health, and interpersonal effectiveness focuses upon teaching people the skills they need to establish healthy relationships in the community, at the office, and at home.
