What Does Recovery from BPD Look Like? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],© Kiera Van Gelder 2008
REMISSION from BPD 2 years =  40% Remission 6 years =  68% Remission 10 years = 85% Remission ( Zanarini, 2005, 2006) Remission is defined as  “no longer meeting 5 of 9 criteria” However, “Remission” does not necessarily signify a better quality of life © Kiera Van Gelder 2008
The “Subsyndromal Phenomenology” of BPD What resolves most quickly : “ Symptoms reflecting core areas of  impulsivity  (e.g. self-mutilation and suicide efforts) and  active attempts to manage interpersonal difficulties  (e.g. problems with demandingness/entitlement and serious treatment regressions) seemed to resolve most quickly.” Least resolved : “ In contrast,  affective symptoms reflecting areas of chronic dysphoria  (e.g. anger and loneliness/emptiness) and  interpersonal symptoms reflecting abandonment and dependency issues  (e.g. Intolerance of aloneness and counter-dependency problems) seemed to be the most stable.”   (Zanarini, Am J. Psychiatry, 2007 June 164(6):929-35 )  © Kiera Van Gelder 2008

  2. Living at a Tibetan Buddhist Center--of all the religious traditions, Buddhism tends to be the least damaging and believes that we all are Buddhas--we just need to develop compassion and clarity and we will shed all the negative layers that have prevented us from recognizing our inherent goodness.  But even within this household, I am afraid that if I don't follow the practices exactly--which I DON'T, as I am dedicated to my own path--I am afraid of being cast out.
