WHAT IS BPD?
So what exactly is BPD or Borderline Personality Disorder? BPD is categorized in the personality disorder category and affects nearly every aspect of that person’s life. People who suffer from BPD often have trouble dealing with unstable emotions, relationships, and behavioral issues. In many cases during BPD treatment through Cognitive Hypnotherapy therapy, we find that trauma and traumatic experiences are at the root of the problem. In some cases, people with BPD want and need help with emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships, they just need the right treatment options. Other times, people with BPD believe there is nothing wrong with them or that they can figure it out on their own. At Revibe Therapy in Winter Park and Lake Nona, we’re here to tell you that you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you choose BPD treatment through Cognitive Hypnotherapy therapy with us, DBT, or another avenue for help, it’s important to reach out to someone for assistance.
BPD SYMPTOMS
BPD does not present itself the same in every person, but there are often some shared or common symptoms across those with BPD. Common symptoms of BPD include but are not limited to:
- Difficulty creating healthy boundaries
- Difficulty regulating emotions
- Self-mutilating and other self-harm behavior
- Susceptibility to compulsivity
- Anti-social behavior
- Impulsivity
- Difficulty maintaining quality relationships
- Susceptibility to compulsivity
Some also find it helpful to know that many people in need of BPD treatment are associated with and can fall victim to narcissists. Because people with BPD struggle to set healthy boundaries and have a poor sense of self-worth, narcissists tend to latch on. This is because narcissists take advantage of these characteristics and find it easier to manipulate and control those with BPD. Unfortunately, this often worsens the state of the person suffering from BPD and can sometimes lead them to spiral into self-mutilating behaviors.
BPD TREATMENT
DBT (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy) is the most common form of BPD treatment. However, at Revibe Therapy, we believe that Cognitive Hypnotherapy therapy can be just as effective in BPD treatment. This is because many people that are dealing with BPD are also carrying around associated trauma. Cognitive Hypnotherapy therapy helps to dig to the root of the trauma and helps you work past it. Once the associated trauma is addressed, BPD treatment becomes much more manageable.

Most often it is not the situation, but how we think about the situation that causes our feelings. How we think about situations is based on what we have learned and experienced in the past. Over time we may begin to react in ways that do not help us, and start feeling stuck and unhappy.

I know you’re stressed and exhausted while trying to keep up with the world’s go go go trials, trying to do it all perfectly. This “hustle” mentality makes all of us prone to mistakes and poor decisions. Your mind is overthinking at such a high pace by now that you no longer know where to find the off button, or recall when you turned it on in the first place. Trust me, I’ve been there, and in that dark place is where you start to feel worried and fearful about the future because you don’t feel in control of the now. Sound familiar?
Often, when we seek support through therapy, we seem to underestimate the power of our own role in the healing process. We have all carried metaphorical luggage filled with experiences and events that have impacted our life. I know that it has been hard for you to seek support in untangling those moments from the past that now provoke stress, anxiety, frustration, anger, loneliness, sadness, guilt, depression, or hopelessness. The fact that you are reading this means that you have the intention to become the best version of yourself.
