Excerpt
In my own experience as someone who has recovered from Borderline Personality Disorder I know both the very real pain and what stands between a person diagnosed with BPD and his or her getting on the road to recovery.
What stands in between you, and you’re getting on the road to recovery and getting better are the defence mechanisms that you’ve built up over the years.
Defence mechanisms whose purpose is to protect your from the very pain that you need to understand, learn to face, and cope with in therapy.
At the heart of the core wound of abandonment in BPD and its impact are many factors. Central among these factors however is the pain of loss. The pain of abandonment. The loss of authentic self.
As I will be exploring in this series of 3 ebooks, there is a central dilemma that those diagnosed with BPD must find a way to address.
This dilemma revolves around the dialectic of the pain of the core wound of abandonment - how central becoming aware of it is to recovery - and how having BPD impairs and even blocks the insight and awareness needed to address this pain.
Not knowing who are affects your ability to know what you want and what you need, who to trust, who to trust. In fact, it is this not knowing who you are that colours your experience emotionally in any and all efforts to feel and/or be connected to others - to relate with and or to others.
How can you relate to others in a consistent and stable way when you don’t know how to do this with yourself because you do not yet know who you are?
What does it mean to live from a lost self? What does it mean to live without a sense of actual or authentic self?
If you have Borderline Personality Disorder, you, in one way or another, and to one degree or another, know the answer to this question in your own life experience and experience of BPD.
What does it mean to you, what comes to your mind when I ask, what is your experience of living your life with Borderline Personality Disorder and without knowing your lost self?
