Opening:
Borderline Personality Disorder must be defined or explained first by what is
known as Cluster B personalities. A Cluster B personality is a personality that is known to
be dramatic, emotional, and erratic. After understanding this it is easier to breakdown the
definition of Borderline Personality Disorder, because it will be better understood.
Impulsive and unstable behaviors in regards to one’s relationship with themselves, their
self-image, and moods are what help to define Borderline Personality Disorder. What will
be discussed is that of Hypnosis in regards to why it should or should not be used as a
treatment option for Borderline Personality Disorder.
Pro:
Hypnosis can reduce symptoms of anxiety by inducing a more tranquil state that
is associated with the induction technique. Additionally, hypnosis has been shown to
augment patient’s resilience when dealing with stressful situations and decreasing
avoidance behavior” (West, 2014, Indications). Hypnosis is used to lower stress and
anxiety so a person with BPD can function adequately in daily life. Although a person
with BPD will always have difficult times with worsening symptoms, the severity of the
symptoms can be treated effectively using hypnosis.
Hypnosis is not only used to lower
anxiety, but is also used to induce sleep. Hypnosis is a safe, non-medicated alternative to
sleeping medications and unlike sleeping pills, it directly treats the underlying condition
causing insomnia.
Hypnosis uses techniques to calm the patient, lower nerve, anxiety, or
stress, and allows for a more restful sleep throughout the night. Hypnosis can also
improve self-image issues and substance-abuse which are typical with BPD. Hypnosis
techniques leave a person feeling better about themselves by providing post-therapeutic
suggestions to the patient.
