The System You're In and Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder
1,893You know when you start to change and there seems to be something all around forcing you back into your maladaptive patterns? These are your interpersonal system roles in action.
This video discusses the interpersonal system/circle of those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, as well as those with traits. I will explain what systems theory is, why it's hard to change (but not impossible), help you raise your awareness of your system and who's in it, how to enhance awareness/insight into your system, and I provide adaptive and healthy tactical tips/strategies to help you.
I have also created a worksheet, which can be access at: http://www.drdfox.com/worksheets
