Spirituality and Borderline Personality Disorder
Published: Wed, 12/10/08
Hi ,
How's it going?
I hope you're doing ok today.
Today I want to talk about spirituality
and borderline personality disorder.
Now, I don't mean any specific type of religion
or anything (that could get me into trouble!) J
But just spirituality in general.
Spirituality can be a big help to you when
you're dealing with a loved one who has
borderline personality disorder.
Sometimes, when you've exhausted all other
means of dealing with your loved one's
acting out behavior, the only left for you to
do is pray (or do some other form of spiritual
practice).
You can't change your loved one.
You can't change their behavior (as much as
you would like to).
What has worked for many people in the same
situation as you are in is some type of
spirituality.
In my main course and resource, I talk about
different coping techniques when dealing
with a loved one with borderline personality
disorder:

So it might not be praying in the
traditional sense, but like meditation
may be a form of coping technique
you might use.
This is considered a type of spirituality
for some people. And not religious, see
what I'm talking about? (I'm not in
trouble yet, am I? J)
But just some form of spirituality -
whether it's praying, meditating, tai chi,
or whatever - can keep you balanced
in your self, and make it easier to deal
with your loved one.
You have to take care of your inner
self so that you can cope with what's
happening in your outer world.
I don't mean to get so deep on you, but
this is just another way I would
encourage you to take care of yourself.
You need to take care of yourself
physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually, so you can be a good supporter
to your loved one with borderline
personality disorder.
Your Friend,
Dave
