How do you recognize a personality disorder?

Personality disorder symptoms

Different people experience personality disorders in different ways

Symptoms

A personality disorder is often at the heart of other complaints, such as depression, anxiety, or addiction and may sustain certain symptoms. Our clients often have personality problems, such as repetitive patterns of thinking, feeling or acting that create problems in their lives.

If you are suffering from a personality disorder, you will probably have certain patterns of behaviour for many years already, which originate from your childhood. These behavioural patterns cause recurring problems in your life or at work. They involve persistent thoughts and behaviour that you find very difficult to change - they have become part of your character.

U-center personality disorder treatment

At U-center we place a lot of attention on personality disorders during treatment due to the impact they have on other complaints and indeed someone’s whole life. Schema therapy helps clients to become more conscious of their behavioural patterns (schemas), how those patterns developed (history) and the situations that trigger them. The therapy is given in individual sessions. All U-center’s staff (including psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors and nurses) are trained in the theory of schema therapy.

Our treatment for personality disorders primarily focuses on gaining an insight into certain patterns and behaviour. Of course who you are and what you have been thinking and doing for many years does not change overnight. Often, it is rather a matter of looking at how you can express certain personal characteristics in the best possible way - where do your pitfalls lie and how can you respond to them in time to prevent problems? We pay a lot of attention to this as you develop a Personal Development Plan.

Integrated and personalized approach

We all have our own unique personality, and how it develops depends on many different factors. That is why at U-center, we take an integrated approach to the treatment of personality disorders. We take into account everything that has had a significant influence on your life, such as other conditions like addiction or depression. We also look at your personality, relationships, family situation, work and health, all of which can play a role. Together with your treatment team, you learn to change your behavioural patterns, as we investigate which factors influence your personality in order to bring about real and lasting change.
