Beverly Hills Personality Disorder Therapy
Personality Disorders
Personality Disorders are disorders of the self that are long-term and pervasive.
They affect every aspect of your life, from your relationships to your moods
to even your sense of your own identity. Industry people have personality disorders
as do everyone else, but because of the erratic nature of the business, those
with these disorders are often able to thrive until the pattern becomes all
too clear.
One of the more prevalent personality disorders is Borderline Personality Disorder.
In BPD, there is a pattern of difficulty in relationships, poor self-image,
unstable moods and impulsivity. Often, there is also a possibility of angry
outbursts, promiscuity, substance abuse, mood swings and suicidal threats used
to manipulate people. There is also an intense fear of abandonment. Think Glenn
Close in “Fatal Attraction.”
People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder exaggerate their own worth, are
preoccupied with themselves and have no empathy. They often have difficulty
with relationships and jobs, cannot take criticism, are envious of others, crave
compliments and use others for their own means. Think Ari Gold in “Entourage.”
The good news is that these disorders can be tamed. You won’t lose the
good parts of you, only the parts that aren’t working; the painful, shameful,
hurtful parts. It may take some time, but you will find a much better relationship
with yourself and others.
