Starting Dependent personality disorder therapy

What is dependent personality disorder therapy?

Dependent personality disorder therapy from our therapists in Peachtree City, GA helps clients establish their individuality and self-reliance, as those with dependent personality disorder harshly criticize themselves and underestimate their abilities.

How does dependent personality disorder therapy work?

Dependent personality disorder therapy often involves exploration into one’s past — specifically, events or relationships that may have led to the development of their dependent personality disorder. These experiences and their subsequent behaviors are discussed to help one develop healthier behaviors moving forward.

Is dependent personality disorder therapy conducted in person or online?

Dependent personality disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does dependent personality disorder therapy last?

Dependent personality disorder with a provider at Thriveworks in Peachtree City, GA is a short-term therapy, as long-form treatment can lead to the development of a dependence on one’s therapist.

Dependent Personality Disorder in Peachtree City, GA—Counselors and Therapists

The disorder can erase an individual’s uniqueness, their likes and dislikes, thoughts and emotions, skills and abilities. It is a severe illness, but it also is an illness that has treatment.

Thriveworks Peachtree City provides treatment for Dependent Personality Disorder because healing and independence are possible. We have worked with many clients who were empowered to live their own lives.

Dependent Personality Disorder: What Is It?

The symptoms for Dependent Personality Disorder (301.6[F70.7]) are outlined in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). The diagnostics begin with three main criteria:

  1. Separation anxiety.
  2. Submissive behavior.
  3. A need to be taken care of.

If an individual who had the disorder will also display at least five of the following:

  • Discomfort with their own, unique individuality—feelings, opinions, thoughts, choices, skills, et cetera.
  • Difficulty making everyday choices without consulting an authority figure for reassurance and advice.
  • Fear of being alone.
  • Fear of having to provide for oneself.
  • Abdicating responsibility in major areas of one’s life. For example, allowing a parent to pay one’s bills.
  • Going to great lengths to appease caregivers and ensure their support and nurture.
  • Being overly compliant—hiding one’s actual feelings and thoughts.
  • Quickly replacing a caregiving relationship if it ends.

They have difficulty securing and maintaining a job. In addition, the disorder raises people’s risk of other mental illnesses, including other anxiety, depression, adjustment, and personality disorders.

Setting Up an Appointment at Thriveworks Peachtree City for Dependent Personality Disorder

A few examples of the different therapies that may help include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy – examines the disordered thought patterns that an individual holds and seeks to challenge them. Positive and true thoughts can then replace the untrue, negative thinking.
  • Psychodynamic therapy – delves into how the disorder developed, the psychological wounds that may have caused it, and why the dependency continued. It seeks to apply deep, holistic, and long-term healing.

When you contact Thriveworks Peachtree City, you may be meeting with your therapist the next day. Many different forms of insurance are accepted. Let’s work together. Call today.

I have known Stephanie for over six years and worked side by side with her in a mental health center for part of that time. What comes across first and foremost is her caring and concern for her clients and her determination to see that their needs are met. She brings to her work a wide range of experience and training along with confidence that is reassuring and a comfort to those in distress. She can deal calmly with the most severe issues as well as with problems of daily living. In the time that I've known her, she has been licensed in three different states to practice in a variety of settings. If you come to her in a time of need, in a time of emotional upheaval or difficult questions, I don't think you will find a more competent or more caring therapist.
