What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious mental health condition that affects approximately 1.4% of the adult population.Â
People with BPD experience persistent patterns of unstable emotions, impulsive behaviors, and distorted self-image that significantly impact their daily lives and relationships.Â
Borderline Personality Disorder typically begins during adolescence or early adulthood and can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental stressors, and traumatic experiences.
Living with BPD can feel like riding an emotional rollercoaster, with intense highs and lows that can shift rapidly throughout the day.Â
These emotional fluctuations often lead to challenges in maintaining stable relationships, pursuing long-term goals, and developing a consistent sense of self.Â
You are not alone. You deserve to get help.

What Are The Four Types of BPD?
Research has identified four distinct types of BPD, each requiring specialized treatment approaches:
Discouraged BPD
People with Discouraged BPD often experience intense feelings of worthlessness and dependency on others. They typically struggle with persistent depression and anxiety, turning their emotional pain inward rather than expressing it outwardly.
These individuals may appear quiet and withdrawn, avoiding conflict while harboring deep feelings of inadequacy. They frequently struggle with codependent relationships and may have difficulty functioning independently.
Impulsive BPD
Impulsive BPD is characterized by high-energy, sensation-seeking behaviors and dramatic emotional expressions. Individuals with this type often engage in risky activities, display flirtatious or attention-seeking behavior, and struggle with maintaining boundaries.
They may experience intense mood swings and have difficulty considering long-term consequences of their actions. Their relationships are typically intense and volatile, with a pattern of idealization followed by devaluation.
Those with Petulant BPD often experience unpredictable mood swings and struggle with intense anger and irritability. They may alternate between periods of outward hostility and periods of withdrawal or sulking.
Control issues are common, manifesting in manipulative behaviors and difficulty accepting authority. Relationships are often strained by their tendency to test others’ loyalty and their fear of disappointment.
Self-Destructive BPD
Self-Destructive BPD is marked by severe self-loathing and self-punishing behaviors. Individuals with this type often engage in self-harm, have recurring suicidal thoughts, and struggle with intense feelings of emptiness and worthlessness.
They may appear outwardly self-sacrificing while harboring deep internal turmoil. Their relationships are often characterized by extreme dependency and fear of abandonment, coupled with a belief that they don’t deserve support or care.
How Is Borderline Personality Disorder Treated?
At Arbor Wellness, we offer a comprehensive array of evidence-based and innovative treatments for BPD:
Psychiatry
Our board-certified psychiatrists provide expert medication management to help stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, and address co-occurring mental health conditions. They work closely with your treatment team to adjust medications based on your individual needs and response.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions with trained therapists provide a safe space to explore emotions, process trauma, and develop coping strategies. Your therapist will help you understand your triggers and create personalized tools for managing BPD symptoms.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is our primary treatment modality, specifically designed for BPD. DBT teaches four essential skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through DBT, you’ll learn to balance acceptance and change while developing healthier ways to cope with intense emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. This therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, teaching you to challenge distorted thinking and develop more balanced perspectives.
Group Therapy
Group sessions provide valuable peer support and real-world opportunities to practice interpersonal skills. You’ll connect with others who understand your struggles while learning from shared experiences and different perspectives.
Holistic Therapy
Our holistic approach includes meditation, yoga, and mindfulness practices to promote overall wellness and emotional balance. These techniques complement traditional therapies by addressing the mind-body connection.
Somatic Therapy
This body-centered approach helps you process trauma and emotions stored in the body. Through guided exercises and awareness practices, you’ll learn to release physical tension and develop a stronger sense of emotional safety.
Genetic Testing
Advanced genetic testing helps us understand how your body may respond to different mental health medications, allowing for more precise and effective medication selection and reducing trial-and-error in treatment.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation and promote cellular healing, potentially helping with anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances common in BPD.
Biosound Therapy
Biosound therapy combines binaural beats, low frequency vibration, and music therapy to promote deep relaxation and emotional regulation. The synchronized sound and vibration help reduce anxiety and stabilize mood.
Alpha-Stim
This FDA-cleared device uses cranial electrotherapy stimulation to help reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It’s a non-invasive treatment that can be particularly helpful for managing BPD symptoms.
