I’m not sure how many therapists psychologist etc are willing to take on patients that require themselves to go through therapy because the risk is much much higher of transference with these patients. They don’t get paid enough or more for that kind of work.
i have an anti social personality disorder i am 70 and was diagnosed with a personality disorder 45 years ago during a brief stay in prison. I was not told what a personality disorder was nor which type i had. My condition has been left largely untreated and my life and those lives i have touched have been hell . This video is the best insight i have had for my condition in the 45 years i have been diagnosed. I am a loner , i am always alone even though i have been married for over 30 years i have no blood relatives in my country . The treatment seems to be group therapy something i have always hated because you have to be honest there is a saying " you cant kid a kidder" wheras one to one therapy i found that i was not that honest.
🦋 I am so sorry that it has taken and is still taking in so many respects so very long for us humans to understand each other. Blessings and love to you and those you have encountered on this life’s journey. 🙏🏾💜🦋
What's happening with this? Is someone going to try to compact these egotistical obsessed borderline exerts in the US? It's so shallow and overused. It's really meaningless. That pejorative label it's become. It's a cash grab. Why not? These patients with the actual pattern labeled are in fact rightfully labeled “treatment seeking”. The fact that most treatment seeking is considered “ego syntonic” seems so contradictory it's absurd. I'd hardly call the people I met who were labeled that, and it actually fit “ego syntonic”.
This is so triggering as a child of a mom with BPD. As kids, we didn't know what was wrong. I honestly thought all Mom's were like this. We still care for her through our adulthood. Having children myself helped me realize it wasn't normal.
Hello, my first husband ( ex husband ) and I have 3 sons. Staying in the marriage was not a possibility. My ex received joint custody, during those visits I was not present and often when my boys came back I could tell, or was told of serious abuse taking place. I was unable to convince the court to stop my ex's visiting rights, so it continued. This said, today my eldest is 100% mentally disabled, unable to truly trust people. My middle child refused to have children due to his father's actions, my youngest one became an abusive husband. 😢
Thank you, for sharing. I was recently diagnosed with bpd and everything’s been making sense why I’ve been this way my whole life. Thanks to people like you and your organization to help spread awareness like this!
I go to therapy and my therapist have mentioned i might have a personality disorder. I read about it and i can relate a lot to borderline personality disorder, but The quiet type. I would rage sometimes, but it’s always when i am alone. I have a son who is 8. He is The most important part of my life and i would never harm him in anyway. I dont want him to ever feel insecure or unsafe. I do my very best everyday to make our home a secure loving enviorment for him. I want him to bring friends home and i love it when he does. Children laughing and having a good times, gives me joy too. I’d do anything for my son❤
That’s the ticket, use talk therapy to rationally persuade sociopaths and psychopaths that they should be nice. Start with a pledge to be honorable to impress them to be “good”. Never apply the principles of behaviorism. That might hurt their feelings. Let me know how it works out. Measure it by the crime rate.
Well, unless if you’ve worked with people who have these traits, I would not be so negative. These folks are usually traumatized people, and as society we need to find best ways than just prisons.. that we have to pay in our taxes..
i feel like if i have kids i’m not going to love them how i should. i want to be able to do that and i want kids but i don’t feel for people and i’m kinda impatient and i don’t want to end up hurting them
Thank you for your courage in sharing your story- it really helps others. 🙏 You mentioned you had a kind and supportive family which is wonderful. I am curious as to whether you experienced any trauma in your childhood years? I know there is a connection between trauma and bpd but also that bpd can exist without trauma being present.
The feeling of the world on your shoulders is tough especially when you're a single parent with children. At times in the past when I had become overwhelmed with anxiety and or panic attacks it doesn't help when there's no one you can trust to open up to. So I started to search the holy bible for the first time. I was seriously seeking it find answers in the new testament wanting to find out if God of the bible was real. I was a teenager had little to know understanding of what I was reading. Reading chapters and verses over many times everyday for weeks and months also hours at a time . It was the best decision I had ever made . By seeking to understand and know about and who is God . He also told me who I am in him . In no time all of my past insecurities and uncertainties Were no more . Because it is written God said he will never leave me nore forsake me . My confidence is in the lord God I boast in the lord not in a man not even in my self . It is written I can do all thing through christ who strengthens me. No doubt first confess your wrongs your sins then ask for his forgiveness then thank him for his loving grace and mercy. Now we can seek and talk to him a share whats on your heart and mind and believe he is listening . The holy bible is the living word of God. The original living never-ending story.
Beautifull filmed. I was an only child with a mother with borderline and DIS (33 personality’s). I was like the oldest child. My role was to keep her happy so there were no outburst. There were a lot of therapists around her, ánd me but nobody saw me for me. Had to grow up by myself and get the right help when I was an adult. Every kid gets hurt growing up in such an environment. especially when there is no other parent to guide the child. I am oké now I wished that therapists would guide the children more.
My mother had bpd she destroyed me, the physical and mental abuse she inflicted on me. I now have autoimmune arthritis because it has destroyed me. People with bpd shouldn't be allowed to have children.
Thank you for sharing your healing journey. I was diagnosed with BPD yesterday and I feel very determined to do all of these positive things so I can participate in life the way I want to. This talk was so helpful. <3
I cry for the child I was and the child still inside. I cry for all those who grew up thinking they were horrible pieces of crap because they were never good enough to stop mom or dad from blowing up. I cry for those who tried so hard to make mom or dad happy but to no avail. I cry for those whose never thought they deserved love or any good in their lives because their mom or dad told them they were worthless and then told them that ' no one else would love them EVER" while at the same time beating them with a belt. Then five minutes later you are told " what a great kid you are" . I cry for you. I cry for me. JUST KNOW THIS ..IT ISNT YOUR FAULT. IT WAS NEVER YOUR FAULT. YOU ARE WORTHY OF ALL Life's GOODNESSES. YOU ARE WORTH OF REAL LOVE.
i've read some studies that achieve and improve the cooperation using particular interests of the patient, but it was nor clear How this individual had behave after jail.
