Service Description

Resolve issues related with personality disorders. Each individual is different. Their way of thinking, feeling and acting is shaped by their genetic influence, childhood experiences and socialisation process. When an individual differs significantly from an average person, in terms of how they think, perceive, feel or relate to others, then there are chances of personality disorders. As a result there is distortion in the belief system that affects emotionally and mentally leading towards odd behaviour, which can be distressing and may upset others. These disorders are long-term patterns of behaviour wherein a person has significantly different inner experiences from an average person, because their expectations from the society are not within the expected social structure. People suffering from personality disorders have their own way of thinking about oneself and others. They also respond emotionally in quite different ways that causes disharmony and inner conflict. It's not clear exactly what causes personality disorders, but they're thought to result from a combination of the genes a person inherits and early environmental influences – for example, a distressing childhood experience (such as abuse or neglect). Personality disorder is now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder and was earlier called multiple personality disorder (MPD). This is because many people experience the changes in parts of their identity as completely separate personalities in one body. The different types of personality disorders are: Antisocial personality disorder, Avoidant personality disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Dependent personality disorder, Histrionic personality disorder, Narcissistic personality disorder, Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and Paranoid personality disorder. Counselling someone with personality disorder requires talking to them compassionately and calmly by listening to their thoughts and feelings. During the session the counsellor makes the client aware of his/her condition and talks about their moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviours. The counsellor also guides them to cope with stress and manage the reactions. Certain social skills are imparted to manage the symptoms and reduce behaviours that interfere with day to day functioning and relationships.
