DBT is a great therapy modality for people who struggle to control very intense emotions and whose emotional responses prevent them from succeeding in their personal and professional lives. You will be able to accept the reality of the world that surrounds you, learn coping mechanisms that will not stand in the way of your emotional growth, and manage stress in a more effective way.
Trauma-informed care can make all the difference when it comes to managing personality disorders. Whether your personality disorder was triggered by a disturbing event that occurred in the past or the symptoms of the personality disorder became worse because you did not undergo the PTSD treatment you needed, it is important to factor your trauma into the treatment strategy.
While most people are able to see significant improvement after they regularly attend counseling for personality disorders, you can also sign up for a residential treatment program if your behavior seriously impacts your functioning and may even put you or others in danger. You can transition to outpatient care after a while to ensure sustainable and profound recovery.
Holistic care will help the individual focus on the connection between their body, mind, and spirit, stay present in the moment instead of being distracted by irrelevant ideas, and prevent the development of further mental health issues on top of the personality disorder.
