DBT is the gold standard for BPD treatment. This approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to improve emotional regulation, enhance relationships, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Key components include:  

​

• Skills training in individual or group settings.  

• Mindfulness and acceptance strategies.  

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

CBT focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. For BPD, CBT may help:  

​

• Challenge distorted thinking.  

• Develop healthier coping strategies.  

• Reduce impulsive behaviors

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This therapy addresses deep-rooted, maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to BPD symptoms. Participants learn to: 

• Recognize core beliefs that perpetuate emotional struggles.  

• Develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Schema-Focused Therapy

Connecting with others facing similar challenges provides opportunities to:  

​

• Build interpersonal skills.  

• Receive peer feedback.  

• Develop a support network and sense of community.

Group Therapy

Although not the primary treatment for BPD, medication may be prescribed to manage specific symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or mood swings.​
