Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment in Marin County, CA
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), Emotional Intensity Disorder (EID), and Borderline Pattern Personality Disorder (borderline pattern PD) are all terms to describe a serious mental health condition that makes it tough to manage emotions, maintain a sense of self, and build healthy relationships. It often leads to intense mood swings, impulsive decisions, and struggles with personal connections. Without the right support, BPD can make everyday life feel overwhelming, affecting work, relationships, and overall well-being.
At Rosebay Behavioral Health, we offer specialized treatment programs to help individuals gain emotional balance, navigate distress, and build a more stable, fulfilling life.
Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder
Living with an Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder can feel like walking a tightrope between extremes. In one moment, emotions are overwhelming, and in the next, they are unbearable. Relationships feel like a rollercoaster, where love and trust can instantly turn to fear and doubt, driven by an intense fear of abandonment. It’s a constant battle between wanting connection and pushing people away.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) typically includes a pattern of emotional instability, impulsive behaviors, and difficulties in relationships. It affects people’s thoughts about themselves and others, often leading to intense and unpredictable emotions. But with the right support and self-awareness, healing is possible, and life can return to a place of stability.
Here are the key features of BPD:
- Emotional Dysregulation: Extreme mood swings and difficulty managing emotions.
- Impulsivity: Risk-taking behaviors, including reckless spending, substance use, or self-harm.
- Unstable Relationships: Difficulty maintaining consistent, healthy interpersonal relationships.
- Fear of Abandonment: Intense anxiety over real or perceived rejection or separation.
- Unstable Self-Image: Shifting self-image, personal goals, and values.
- Chronic Feelings of Emptiness: Persistent emotional void or numbness.
- Self-Harm & Suicidal Behavior: Engaging in self-injury or experiencing suicidal thoughts
- Paranoia & Dissociation: Stress-induced detachment from reality or paranoia.
With the right therapeutic approach, individuals with BPD can build emotional resilience, strengthen interpersonal skills, and develop a healthier sense of self.
