Great question @TideisTurning Treatment for BPD generally involves medium to long-term therapy. There are a number of empirically validated treatments that we know help people with BPD including but not limited to Mentalization Based Therapy, (MBT), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Focused Therapy (SFT), Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP).

I work in the MBT clinic at Spectrum. MBT therapy involves helping people better understand their minds and their mental states and to help them to try to better understand others. More information on MBT can be found here, Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) (tavistockandportman.nhs.uk)

I think an important message to take away about treatment is that the specific modality used is not necessarily what is most important. What’s more important is that it is delivered by a clinician who is interested in working with BPD and they are competent in the model with which they are working.
