Starting Borderline personality disorder counseling

Need more help deciding?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious health condition that can make life more difficult. Symptoms of BPD can include mood swings, intense emotional states, and a fear of rejection and abandonment. These symptoms might make it harder for someone to excel and build strong personal relationships.

Therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals can work with their clients to diagnose BPD and treat its symptoms. Consider calling our office today if you want to speak with a licensed mental health professional from Thriveworks Counseling in Phoenix, AZ. One of our team members will answer your questions and help you schedule your first appointment.

Do I Have Borderline Personality Disorder? Signs and Symptoms

Borderline personality disorder can go undiagnosed for years — knowing the symptoms and signs can help you decide whether you might benefit by talking to a professional. People with BPD experience a wide variety of symptoms that can interfere with normal functioning.

Some of the most common symptoms of BPD include:

  • Mood swings
  • Fear of real or imagined abandonment
  • Self-harm
  • Explosive anger
  • Intense emotions
  • Impulsivity and destructive behaviors
  • Uncertain or shifting self-image
  • Feeling suspicious or out of touch with reality

Borderline Personality Disorder Counseling — What To Expect

Treatment for BPD usually focuses on helping people with the disorder learn how to manage their emotions, mitigate their symptoms, and build healthier relationships. Most treatment plans involve some form of psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy

Psychotherapy can help you talk about your experience with the disorder and teach you coping methods and skills to reduce its impact on your life. Some of the most commonly used types of psychotherapy for BPD include:

  • Transference-focused therapy (TFT): This form of psychotherapy aims at helping someone with BPD understand the cause of their disorder and build new, healthier patterns of thought and behavior. The client “transfers” some of their feelings to their therapist or counselor. Then, the session can focus on unpacking emotions and examining patterns of thought.
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): This is an approach to therapy that can help people learn how to cope with and change negative emotions. DBT teaches four main skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation. Learning these skills and examining your mental state can help you manage your BPT symptoms.
