PERSONALITY DISORDER TREATMENT IN DUBAI
Personality disorders, including patterns seen in conditions like narcissistic and borderline tendencies, deeply affect how individuals see themselves and relate to others. These behaviors create unique challenges in personal, social, and professional settings. As a licensed psychologist in Dubai, I’m committed to helping individuals understand and manage these patterns, fostering self-discovery and promoting positive change for a more balanced life.
Challenges and Opportunities for Growth
Personality disorders can significantly influence thoughts, feelings, and relationships, leading to persistent behaviors. While these patterns can cause distress, they also present opportunities for growth. My approach combines compassionate care with evidence-based strategies to address the root causes. Whether you’re dealing with intense emotions or challenges related to self-image, my goal is to foster self-understanding and help you develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Most Common Symptoms of Personality Disorders
- Enduring Patterns of Behavior and Thought: Long-standing, rigid ways of thinking and behaving that deviate from cultural expectations.
- Difficulties in Relationships: Struggles with forming and maintaining healthy relationships, often due to misunderstandings, conflicts, or intense emotional reactions.
- Distorted Self-Image: A problematic and sometimes fluctuating sense of self-identity and self-worth.
- Impulsivity: Acting without considering the consequences, often leading to harmful or risky behaviors.
- Emotional Instability: Intense, rapidly changing, or inappropriate emotional responses.
- Fear of Abandonment: In some disorders, an intense fear of being left alone or rejected.
- Need for Admiration: In narcissistic personality disorder, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration.
Effective Treatment Options for Personality Disorders
Therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy, is essential for managing personality disorders. Therapy offers insights, healthier coping strategies, and stronger relationships. Self-help strategies, such as mindfulness, healthy lifestyle choices, support groups, and journaling, can also complement professional treatment.
