Understanding and Healing Complex Emotional Patterns

Tulua Health offers specialized care for individuals facing the challenges of Personality Disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), among others. Our compassionate, holistic approach aims to understand the person behind the diagnosis, offering pathways to stability, healing, and personal growth.

What Are Personality Disorders?

Personality Disorders represent a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of inner experience and behavior that deviate significantly from the expectations of an individual's culture. These patterns are pervasive, inflexible, and lead to distress or impairment. They include, but are not limited to:

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Narcissistic Personality Disorder
• Avoidant Personality Disorder
• Antisocial Personality Disorder

Recognizing the Signs

Identifying Personality Disorders, particularly BPD, involves recognizing a range of symptoms that can affect relationships, self-image, and emotions:

• Emotional Instability: Frequent and rapid mood swings without a clear cause.
• Intense Relationships: Patterns of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships, often swinging between extremes of idealization and devaluation.
• Fear of Abandonment: Efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment by others.
• Impulsive Behaviors: Engaging in impulsive and potentially self-damaging activities.
• Chronic Feelings of Emptiness: Persistent feelings of emptiness or dissatisfaction with life.
