Description
Borderline Personality Disorder: Is it nature or nurture?
A pervasive fear of abandonment, impulsive behaviors, patterns of self-harm, and a constantly shifting sense of self. With so many life-impacting symptoms, it’s not surprising that many people with BPD—and the people who care for them—focus solely on “solutions.” But how can we treat that which we do not understand?
Did you know that a whopping 40% of people with BPD are initially misdiagnosed? This indicates a gross misunderstanding of the condition as a whole, how it presents, and most importantly, the underlying factors that impact the effectiveness of various treatment options.
Inside Borderline Personality Disorder and Childhood Trauma, you’ll unearth:
- The truth of BPD’s many presentations, including common positive characteristics of people with BPD
- How and why people with BPD are commonly misdiagnosed
- The circumstances that can cause trauma and how that trauma impacts a child’s brain
- The ways childhood mechanisms of seeking safety and wellness can be linked with adult hardship and illness
- The importance of healing through the power of love and support
Along with much, much more!
Packed with the personal stories of people with BPD, this is more than just a wealth of information, it is an empathy-packed deep-dive into the root system of this largely misunderstood condition. Borderline Personality Disorder and Childhood Trauma offers real-life insight and advice for individuals with BPD, their loved ones, and healthcare professionals alike.
This book resonates with me on a very deep level. It made me want to cry tears of happiness. I thank every person out there who studied this topic enough to make this awareness possible. I always looked at my diagnosis negatively. And somehow, reading this book made me feel confident in myself and the way my brain works. This was an easy read for someone like me and the emotions that arose in myself via reading this book will surely stick around. I’m proud to be who I am, with all my flaws. Thank you.
I loved the detail in this book, as someone who is still learning about my diagnosis this was great insight into some of my traits
great subject, great author
Very well written, easy to understand.
This topic is immensely needed in the world, let alone the Muslim community. Sofia has ventured into the world of humanitarianism in a Muslim context where few have ventured and where taboo is rampant. This intellectual and emotional analysis is highly welcomed and we are blessed to have someone of this caliber producing life-changing work. Great work, Sofia!!
