Treatment can help you learn skills to manage and cope with your condition. It's also necessary to get treated for any other mental health disorders that often occur along with borderline personality disorder, such as depression or substance misuse. With treatment, you can feel better about yourself and live a more stable, rewarding life.
Learning to manage your emotions, thoughts and behaviors takes time. Most people improve considerably, but you may always struggle with some symptoms of borderline personality disorder. You may experience times when your symptoms are better or worse. But treatment can improve your ability to function and help you feel better about yourself.
Symptoms associated with borderline personality disorder can be stressful and challenging for you and those around you. You may be aware that your emotions, thoughts and behaviors are self-destructive or damaging, yet you feel unable to manage them.
From Hurt to Joy will show you how, in this moment, to have choices and the power to move freely in your life. You will learn to use your own Energy Dynamics, made up of breath, physical and emotional energy, mental awareness, meridians, chakras, your immune and nervous systems, as well as spiritual energy. You will explore specific skills that will help you develop a new base of strength, safety, clarity, and optimism. You will also learn effective ways to resolve the obstacles that typically crop up for you when you are trying to accomplish something, so your efforts are not short-circuited.
I hope that From Hurt to Joy will help you move past obstacles, treat yourself compassionately, claim your innate goodness, support and value yourself, feel more comfortable in the world, and embrace your life with optimism and a renewed sense of wonder and support.
One of the key points of Energy Dynamics is learning to manage your level of sensation, including those generated by this book. Keeping the levels of arousal of your symptoms and memories manageable, and processing only as much as you can at a given moment while staying connected with yourself, is what makes it possible to release old, stored feelings. Not being washed away or overwhelmed will be addressed in chapter seven, entitled BWITSY. One goal in reading (and writing!) the book is to learn the important skill of monitoring how stirred up your body is while still functioning well in various life situations. 2ff7e9595c
