Many myths surround people with personality disorders. It is true that they can be “difficult” to deal with. It is not true that they are bad people. It is not true that they are always at fault. And it is not true that they are untreatable. Nobody chooses to have a personality disorder. Such people do inflict emotional (and on rare occasions physical) pain on others. But they suffer from intense emotional pain themselves as well in ways that nobody sees. This pain comes from a combination of genetics and life experiences that produce the development of beliefs that (oftentimes unconsciously) drive behaviors that cause a multitude of problems for themselves and others. The Personality Disorder Toolbox offers practical, evidence-based strategies and techniques for helping a broad range of practitioners work with clients to help: • All individuals with PDs develop awareness and insight as to how their behaviors are contributing to consequences in their relationships and other areas of life • People with these traits change beliefs that drive impulsive, self-sabotaging, and other harmful behaviors • Clients with Narcissistic characteristics develop empathy • BPD patients learn to regulate emotions without acting destructively • Consumers on the anti-social spectrum develop tools for facilitating attachment & decrease rule-breaking behaviors • Individuals with Cluster A & C disorders acquire tools specifically designed to change their lifelong self-defeating behaviors and modify the mindsets behind them
