Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder in Atlanta, GA—Sandy Springs Counselors

BPD can cause many challenges in an individual’s life, but it is also a disorder that has treatment. Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder has helped many people find the balance and stability they crave.

Thriveworks Atlanta in Sandy Springs, GA provides treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. We have seen how it can cause instability, but we have also seen how equilibrium can be restored through therapy. Reach out today for help.

Symptoms and Signs of Borderline Personality Disorder

There are ten mental illnesses that The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) organizes under the label “personality disorder.” Each causes a particular pattern of maladaptive behavior (that is, behavior that does not serve an individual well in life). Borderline Personality Disorder’s pattern is marked by instability. People often have volatile relationships, identities, and feelings.

That instability shows up through signs and symptoms like…

  • Vacillating between extreme feelings: anxiety and euphoria, happiness and irritability, and more.
  • A pattern of turbulent (and broken) relationships: BPD can cause people to romantic other people, and then, others cannot live up to those expectations.
  • Difficulty hearing any kind of criticism—even constructive criticism.
  • A deep-seated fear of separation and/or abandonment.
  • Reckless, risky behavior like daredevil driving, spending sprees, drug use, gambling, unsafe sex, self-sabotage, binge eating, et cetera.
  • Attempting suicide or engaging in self-harm (especially as a way to cope with criticism, rejection, and fear).
  • Belligerence and outbursts of anger.
  • An on-going sense of feeling empty.

BPD’s Development

It is not completely clear why and how Borderline Personality Disorder develops, but mental health professionals understand that certain factors can increase its likelihood. Approximately 1 percent of the US population suffers from BPD, and these are often factors in its development:

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

Treatment for BPD

The symptoms for BPD give a picture of the destruction it can cause in an individual’s life, but it is important to understand that those effects are not inevitable. Dialectical Behavior Therapy can mitigate many of the harmful, maladaptive behaviors that BPD can cause through teaching people skills such as…

  • 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 – Obstacles, setbacks, letdowns, and adversity are a common part of life. Everyone faces these, and distress tolerance teaches people how to handle life’s harder moments in a healthy way.
  • Mindfulness – All the thoughts that pop into people’s brains and the feelings they feel in their heart and the sensations that flow through their body are important. Mindfulness teaches people to pay attention to what they are experiencing and to take note without judging what they see.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness – People need other people in their lives, and interpersonal effectiveness sets people up to cultivate a variety of relationships in many different spheres.

Christy made me feel comfortable right away. I had been working with another local therapist who I loved, but who is moving and I was nervous about switching. But Christy has been fantastic already just in our first two visits. Would definitely recommend Christy and Thriveworks

I was matched with Ms Geneen Brown a little over 2 years ago & it's been the best match ever. She's helped me so much. I was one of those people who thought asking for help from a therapist was silly. I can say nothing but amazing things about Thriveworks & Geneen.
