Title: Think my spouse my have bpd Post by: Skittles007 on December 12, 2019, 04:46:24 PM Hi everyone, I’m pretty sure my spouse has at least some bpd indicators. Any advice on how to get them to consider therapy?

Getting a person with BPD (or any type of addiction or disorder, really) into therapy can be a thorny issue. We have an article on that very topic here: https://bpdfamily.com/content/how-to-get-borderline-into-therapy Also, if you haven't already, I'd recommend you not mention BPD to them. As a general rule, it doesn't tend to go well when a loved one suggests BPD as a possibility. Better to come from a professional. Whether your spouse agrees to seek help or not, though, there are tools and skills we have here that can help you. If you feel up to it, I hope you'll share a bit more about your story. How long have you been married? What sorts of symptoms does your spouse show? Again, welcome! |
