HHCI Webinars – Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder

Impulsive? Emotionally Reactive? Suicidal? These are the classic signs of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Do you know someone whose relationships are overly intense and unstable, who fears abandonment, and is involved in self-destructive behavior such as binge eating, substance abuse, or cutting. BPD causes problems in many areas of an individual’s life, such as relationships, work, and school.

In this presentation Dr. Stanford will describe the causes, symptoms, and treatments for this problem personality disorder, as well as, how families might best relate to a loved one with the disorder.

Speaker: Matthew S. Stanford, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, Hope and Healing Center & Institute

Excellent presentation. Well explained. Clear with concise accurate data points. BPD is a curse of an illness and the people who suffer from it deserve help and healing. They, like everybody, have intrinsic human value and merit peace and comfort in their lives.

This is excellent. I have watched easily around 1, 000 videos on BPD in the last months (audhd and infj ;) ) and this was just perfectly and compassionately explained with perfect visuals. The most devastating thing about BPD was the love of my life and her family not believing i had no idea what i did or what happened.. i sent 20, 000 word apologies while still in the dissociative hangover. Thank you. Maybe one day I’ll be able to fix this situation, but i have to be healed first.

I wish my family would watch this to have even a small understanding of why I suffer.

[alexgillo]

This is the most informative video on BPD. I self diagnosed that this is my problem and I have been researching it in depth. I'm in talking therapy, let's see where it takes me. Just having an understanding of it I find very helpful, it gives me explanation of my troubling emotions and hope that I'll be able to manage them. Thank you.

[luciacenteno]

What an outstanding presentation! Thank you so very much Dr. Stanford. The way you presented BPD was informative, simple, true and real. May the Lord continue blessing and keeping you to help people with this disorder. God bless you!!!

[MicaelaJ]

[marikalathem]

This was outstanding-ly excellent. Thank you 🙏🏻

[francoistourigny]

This is the most intelligently vulgarisation and in depth explanation that I ever hear sorry for S, V, that I immensely appreciate but this here is even enlightening, thank you very much.

BPD can be officially diagnosed before age 18. I was officially diagnosed at age 16 in a hospital, and many others I know have been diagnosed even younger. It's the one exception in the DSM-5.

The information in this video is outdated and stigmatizing.

[dorothyhopkins]

I'm 86 life is hard, I've never had lasting friendships, married twice but to abusers, never kissed or hugged, etc. Suicidal thoughts throughout lifetime. 😢

[cecilialounissi]

Isn't the family generally responsable for the trauma and therefater the de of BPD ?

[k.s]

I have lived with a person with borderline personality for over 20 years and it’s been hell on earth. Sometimes I wonder if we are simply labeling a manipulative, angry and narcissistic individual with a disorder?

After years of being patient and tolerant of their abusive behaviors I have a very hard time feeling ANY kind of empathy for them. The relationship has ruined my life and our family.

Encouraging people to support someone who often treats others like crap and lacks the ability to take ownership is a lot to ask.

[kennethdambya]

A borderline looks to know the details of his problem and also how to overcome but seems unable to implement mitigation strategies.

"Approach avoidance repetition compulsion"...

[PortraitoftheArtistasanOldDog]

He seems to be delivering this in classic pressured speech mode making it unintelligible to me...why no use of actual terminology? "ACE" etc

[courtneyhenderson]

So much is incorrect in this video. He's very "old school", when there is a ton of new research on BPD out there, and it's sad that this dr is spreading stigmas that are factually inaccurate.

See Prof Sam Vaknin YouTube amazing insights comparing DSM 6 & ICD 11 positing one "personality disorder" with unique overlays as a sliding continuum...

I feel that you are sharing a great product but I see that you only have 14k viewers after 3y so I figured that before I'm going to close this channel I'll share with you for why I'm doing it. I believe that if you'd take away the slides just to see yourself is enough. We like to see a human being talking rather than staring on a screen. We can handle your information even without the slides (the slides are a distraction) the people who are interested in slides are not on YouTube they join a class. Delete the slides and you'll get over a million viewers in a short time.
That's my 5th sense.

They should just have a sports coach speak, teaching people to run for their sanity and lives from these cruel people
