Understanding Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Treatment at Higher Purpose Recovery
Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition that impacts the way a person feels about themselves and others. Individuals with BPD often experience intense emotional pain, difficulty regulating emotions, unstable relationships, and a deep fear of abandonment.
At Higher Purpose Recovery, we understand that BPD can feel overwhelming—but it’s also treatable. Through virtual, personalized care, we help individuals better understand their emotions, build healthier relationships, and regain a sense of inner stability.
Common Symptoms of BPD
- Intense fear of abandonment—even imagined rejection
- Rapid shifts in mood that may last hours to days
- Unstable relationships that alternate between idealization and devaluation
- Chronic feelings of emptiness or identity confusion
- Self-harming behaviors or suicidal thoughts
- Difficulty managing anger or frequent outbursts
What Causes BPD?
- Childhood trauma, neglect, or abuse
- Family history of mood disorders or personality disorders
- Environmental stressors or invalidating environments
- Differences in brain structure and function (especially areas regulating emotion)
