BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER LOVED ONES SUPPORT

New group forming now!

If you have a person with extreme emotion dysregulation in your life, YOU are on the frontlines. You may find yourself constantly bombarded with anger outbursts you can’t identify the cause or origin of. You watch your loved one spiral day after day and anytime you offer a fix, they seem to spiral faster and further. You may fear coming home, not knowing which version of your loved one you are going to find there. While your loved one’s therapist or doctor gets to “set boundaries” and take breaks, you are never off duty. You need respite, validation, and answers. This is your group. These are your people!

New Group Forming Now

Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT) is an evidence-based adaptation of standard DBT developed specifically to treat disorders of over-control. Although high self-control is generally thought to be a good quality, research shows that too much self-control can actually become problematic. Over-control is associated with emotional loneliness, social isolation, and difficulty connecting to others and developing intimate social bonds.
