Borderline Personality Disorder in Westborough, MA—Therapy and Counseling

The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Westborough offer treatment for borderline personality disorder. We have worked with many clients who were struggling with the harmful effects of BPD, and yet, by seeking help, they learned how to heal and how to build the life they wanted.

Signs and Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder’s distinguishing symptom is instability. BPD can cause people to have unstable emotion, identity, and relationships. The volatility can show itself as…

  • Being fearful of abandonment, and responding with extreme actions at any real or perceived separation.
  • Belligerence: starting/jumping into fights, outbursts of angry, bitterness and sarcasm, easily losing one’s temper, and more.
  • A history of fractured friendships, partnerships, business connections, and other relationships.
  • Wavering between different selves—altering and shifting one’s identity, goals, values, and perceptions regularly.
  • Swinging between extreme feelings: euphoria to irritability, happiness to anxiety, and more.
  • Feeling paranoia and losing touch with real life for minutes (or hours or days) at a time.
  • Extreme difficulty with any kind of rejection or criticism, even healthy forms of constructive criticism or separation.
  • Attempted suicide, self-harm, or threats to injure oneself (particularly when afraid, rejected, or criticized).
  • Feelings of emptiness.
  • Acting recklessly: engaging in unsafe sex, gambling without restraint, drug abuse, reckless driving, and more.

It is obvious from these symptoms that BPD can cause significant harm in an individual’s life. Yet, its harm is more far-reaching. BPD often co-occurs with other mental health problems like depression, self-harm, addiction, eating disorders, and substance abuse.

Treatment for BPD

BPD can cause severe harm in an individual’s life, but with interventions, many people are able to find treatment for it. Counselors who are experienced in BPD therapy can often help people mitigate its harm in their lives. The best treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder is often personalized to unique clients, but there is a form of therapy that is often effective. Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed specifically to treat BPD (although it now is used for other disorders). It promotes healing by teaching clients emotional skills like…

  • Mindfulness – The ability to observe oneself without judgment so that people have an accurate grasp of what they are feeling and what their bodies are sensing.
  • Emotional regulation – The skills needed to use the emotions one feels well by responding to them instead of allowing them to dictate one’s reaction.
  • Distress tolerance – The resiliency skills needed to face life’s disappointments, challenges, struggles, and setbacks (because they happen to everyone).
  • Interpersonal effectiveness – The relational skills needed to cultivate a wide variety of relationships.
