Thrive Girls Ranch and Home understands that you want to find help for your struggling teen girl who may be suffering with Borderline Personality Disorder. We’re here to help at our affordable, specialized boarding school program, set in a safe, positive and structured environment near Austin, Texas.
When your teen suffers with Borderline Personality Disorder, you observe a mental health illness in which they show great and persistent instability in their self-image, conduct and interpersonal relationships.
Borderline Personality Disorder (also sometimes referred to as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder) might bring about self-loathing, and mood changes triggered by perceived rebuff, seclusion or failure. With BDP, you might see a teen express excessive sensitivity to critique, and feelings toward others that become subject to rapid shifts and changes. These feelings of insignificance may also lead to risky, impulsive and reckless behavior.
As with many other personality disorders, while there are not established causes for BPD, factors are likely a combination of genetics, environment and brain chemistry. Higher risk might also come if a close family member has the disorder, or from childhood abuse or neglect.
Here to Help your Girl with Borderline Personality Disorder
Without treatment, your child can face grave complications connected to relationship troubles and legal or financial problems, many of those related to risky activities.
Primarily therapy-based, treatment can be thorny; there must be great trust between your child and therapist, something often difficult to achieve because of the swift and extreme mood swings. Distinctive treatment types might include interpersonal therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. Certain medications are sometimes successful, although they are not a normal part of the protocol.
How Your Teen Girl Can Change and Thrive
Thrive Girls Ranch and Home offers life transformation to girls who struggle with life-controlling and self-destructive behaviors or attitudes like Borderline Personality Disorder. We provide therapeutic counseling to each individual girl, plus daily learning experiences and activities that nurture a true change of heart–and help her thrive in life.
We desire to see every girl discover her God-given potential, and live out the core values of integrity, compassion, community, vision, stewardship, servanthood, and faith in Jesus Christ.
Here, teen girls receive fully accredited middle and high school curriculum through Alpha Omega Academy. We also offer extensive academic recovery options, and help her prepare to transition into a normal, healthy lifestyle in college, ministry or the workforce. And because we highly value family restoration, parents can visit their girl once a month, and receive good insight on improving family relationships.
