Meet Our Team Of Personality Disorder Psychiatrists

Overview

As a result of negative childhood experiences in addition to biologically-determined dispositions, people with personality disorders form core beliefs regarding their environment which are distorted, faulty, or biased, which result in incorrect and irrational conclusions regarding the meaning attached to external events. This can cause them unnecessary suffering and distress, which becomes the basis of their dysfunctional behaviours and interactions with others. CBT helps the person identify and challenge these faulty assumptions and replace them with more accurate and rational alternate interpretations. Changing these distressing thoughts can lead to change in emotions, leading to more positive emotional reactions and behaviours.
The CBT therapist can engage the person in this process of changing dysfunctional thoughts by asking the person to record the events that triggered a negative response in them. The therapist would examine and try to identify with the person the negative assumptions that could have caused the negative emotion and the subsequent behaviour in the person. The therapist would help in challenging the thoughts with questions that disprove the faulty assumption and ask the person to consider alternative explanations for the same event. Repeated challenging thus lessens the intensity of the faulty core belief.
