Personality Psychology

Typically, borderline personality disorder is defined as a mental health disorder that causes people to have turbulent feelings which result in turbulent actions. More often than not, these feelings and actions occur over an extended period of time. Therefore, a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder cannot be made unless an individual has displayed these characteristics for several months to a period of several years.

Steht die Diagnose "Borderline" im Raum, kommen meist Ängste, Ratlosigkeit und Verzweiflung auf. Depressionen, Selbstverletzungen, extreme Unsicherheit, Instabilität in Beziehung und Selbstbild – die meisten Menschen haben nur vage Vorstellungen davon, was die Krankheit tatsächlich bedeutet und sind deshalb nur umso hilfloser. Doch tatsächlich ist die Krankheit weder ein unausweichliches Schicksal noch ein unverständliches Mysterium und genau hier setzt dieser Ratgeber an.

Sadly, in this world, we will encounter people who will use the ‘Dark Arts’ and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and in some cases, use the dark arts in such a horrible way, that nobody with a sense of empathy could believe. That is exactly why you need to equip yourself with the education of how these people work, their motivations & most importantly how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from these mind games.

"Du bist ja hysterisch", sagt man, wenn jemand übertrieben gefühlsbetont reagiert und aus der Mücke einen Elefanten macht. In der Psychotherapie bezeichnet Hysterie jedoch eine ernst zu nehmende Störung. Betroffene machen ihr Leben zu einer Inszenierung. Sie dramatisieren, manipulieren oder legen ein labiles kindliches Verhalten an den Tag. Das alles dient dazu, Trubel und Konfusionen zu erzeugen, womit hysterische Personen ihre tiefsitzende Angst vor Zurückweisung übertünchen.

Wie oft ärgert man sich, weil man wieder einmal auf die Masche eines Narzissten hereingefallen ist? Warum fällt es uns so schwer, klare Grenzen zu setzen, obwohl uns das Verhalten narzisstischer Menschen oft ärgert und belastet?

Endlich Schluss mit vergiftetem Charme und subtilen Nadelstichen. Sie sind zurückhaltend, freundlich und allseits beliebt. Niemand würde etwas Böses von ihnen erwarten. Doch hinter ihrer unauffälligen Fassade treten Menschen mit verdecktem Narzissmus in Beziehungen manipulativ auf und unterhöhlen mit feinen Nadelstichen das Selbstwertgefühl ihrer Liebsten. Diese subtile Form des Narzissmus macht es Betroffenen besonders schwer zu erkennen, dass sie in einer toxischen Partnerschaft gefangen sind. Verletzt und verwirrt, geben sie sich selbst die Schuld für jedes Beziehungsproblem.

It marked the beginning of closure and healing. Although the path ahead wouldn't be an easy one, as I navigated through the depths of grief. But it was there that I discovered valuable lessons along the way. But most importantly, the treasure.

There is a world of communication that is far beyond simply speaking to one another. It is one where the true nature of others is better understood, if you know what to look for. Body language seldom lies to us. We can be deceived successfully by people who tell us lies when they speak, but to lie with the body is far harder, and when we understand it, we are better placed to make critical decisions.

While outright mimicry is obviously out of the question, you can certainly seek to mirror the communication styles of the people you're engaging with, in order to help you establish rapport and common ground. Suppose someone looks at you for just a couple of seconds before looking down, or goes past you and then looks back at you. This nonverbal style tells you something important about the person you're engaging - sustained eye contact is undesirable.
