Borderline Personality Disorder Group Practices in Meridian, Idaho

Borderline personality disorder (BPD), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD) is a type of personality disorder that affects mood, self-image, thinking, and interpersonal relationships. The daily life of those experiencing BPD can be marked by rapid changes in intense emotions, impulsivity, and other difficult experiences, such as anger, self-harm, or suicidal feelings.

Family and friends may feel like they are "walking on eggshells," as those with BPD find it hard to make and maintain stable relationships and may feel very concerned about being abandoned by others. It’s normal to experience strong emotions, mood swings, and conflicts with other people at times. However, if you’re experiencing BPD, these conflicts and emotions are persistent, intense, and cause problems in your day-to-day life over a long period of time.

Borderline personality disorder generally requires longer-term, knowledgeable care by a provider trained in specialized therapies. Although approaches can differ, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered one of the most effective. In this therapy – which includes mindfulness practices – providers help you learn skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, reducing suicide risk, and managing your relationships.
