People with lived experience of BPD and related difficulties can struggle with painful emotions, identity, self-control and relationships. People who love or support them can also struggle with their own distress and in the relationship with the person they are supporting. In this webinar, Dr. Alan Fruzzetti will highlight skills to help family members and carers relieve their own emotions and distress while also building healthy relationships with the person they care for. Skills include reducing emotional vulnerabilities, distress and dysregulation and increasing relationship mindfulness, validation, and self-validation.
