Borderline Personality Disorder and Mindfulness

October 7, 2012 Amanda Smith
Mindfulness and BPD

Mindfulness can play a big role in transforming our experience with pain and other difficulties; it allows us to recognize the authenticity of the distress and yet not be overwhelmed by it. —Sharon Salzberg

The brain of someone with BPD races. Constantly.

Your mind may jump from one thing to the next—past, present, and future—within moments. It's no wonder that people with this diagnosis sometimes make impulsive and self-sabotaging decisions they might later regret.

Mindfulness—as a DBT skill—helps us to slow down and appreciate the present moment—without judgment towards ourselves or others.

Now mindfulness isn't magic or esoteric. It's a skill that's based in science and research. The very good news? It can help change your life.

Are you ready to create a life worth living?
