Title: Mindfulness Post by: Pacify on July 20, 2015, 09:22:17 PM Can someone with BPD/npd understand or even grasp mindfulness or cbt? Is this something I can introduce in hopes of helping her get out of her own head?
Has anyone had experience with this? Title: Re: Mindfulness Post by: waverider on July 21, 2015, 05:44:00 AM It is a step in the right direction but it is something that does not come easy.
My wife practices mindfulness with one of her support workers I find my wife sometimes cannot do mindfulness and finds it confronting, at other times she gets so deep into it that coming out of it is stressful. It is a case of not keeping it in perspective, nor being able to easily take it on board in daily life. Its like a switch that is either on or off, rather than a background overlay. CBT at this stage is just too hard for my wife. I think its effectiveness may depend on what stage they are at. It is important as a eventual recovery tool though I believe. |
