The history of borderline
The borderline personality disorder (or borderline personality disorder) is one of the most extensive and indefinite medicine or psychiatry mind notions. The word emerged decades ago when some psychiatrists used to define virtually everything that they knew very well it was.
What is the borderline?
The borderline personality disorder is a "diagnosis" that, in most diagnostic manuals, is not recognized as a genuine independent diagnosis. The official diagnosis that comes closest to what most people understand by 'borderline' is the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), also called PTSD 'post traumatic stress disorder'.
Borderline and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Traumatic stress syndrome occurs when someone has lived an extremely intense negative experience, which sometimes even his life was endangered. The rape, incest, a car accident, a war experience, a robbery, or fire are some possible examples.
How traumatic it can lead to the borderline?
In an accident of great magnitude, our blood undergoes an extremely high increase in stress hormone. These stress hormones bind or consolidate emotional memories at that moment so strongly in our memory that in most cases can not forget this painful memory. The traumatic memory skillful and sinister reappears constantly in our memory. This usually manifests in the form of nightmares, "flashbacks" (regressions) or uncontrolled emotional reactions when something acts as a trigger. Sometimes even a very indirect memory can act as a trigger without us being aware of it. This leads us to do things things that really do not want to do. These actions often have an opposite and often counterproductive effect on our environment.
As stress has sabotaged one borderline patient
A young woman came to my office for counseling. He was in love with a young man she wanted to move to live. It was a very special friend, but each time it wanted to approach her, something unusual happened. She was afraid and rejected. And all this while she really wanted more than ever an approach. Because constantly rejected him, the young man was confused as to his intentions and thought she did not want him.
Fighting underlying borderline reducing stress
When I heard the story of this woman, I explained that there was probably something that was stimulating his memory, a trigger. Indeed, his friend unknowingly had a voice that reminded her of someone who had been sexually assaulted when she was a child. She had not been aware of this memory until you arrive at that conclusion together.
Fighting borderline talking about it
The second session which was that we had to talk to her friend about her reactions and explain your problem does not have anything to do with him. His friend reacted being very understanding and wanted to give full support to your problem exceeded. Over the following months, every time I had less inexplicable reactions in which he rejected, and when this happened, they could talk about it together. Gradually, the symptoms melted like snow in the sun. A year later, I received a letter in my mailbox announcing they married.
