Private clinic for personality disorders
We perceive you as a person in your entirety
Our personal characteristics determine how we behave, perceive, and feel and make us the unique people we are. Whether empathic, independent, perfectionist, vulnerable, impulsive, or flexible – all characteristics together form our very own personality. However, suppose a deeply rooted pattern of experience and action expresses itself in various private but also professional life situations as a seemingly unchangeable reaction. In that case, a personality disorder or a personality accentuation is present, which can lead to a pressure of suffering for those affected or their relatives and severely impair everyday life and leisure time.
The ability to draw emotional and constructive as well as further conclusions from specific experiences and to let one’s own understanding and feelings develop coherently for oneself and others is often severely limited in those affected by a personality disorder or is restricted with forced energy to specific constricted areas of life.
For family and friends, it is usually apparent which behaviors would need to be changed to solve the problems; however, affected individuals often exhibit a distorted self-perception and therefore have difficulty reflectively viewing their own attitudes, feelings, and behaviors. This can lead to problems in interpersonal relationships and addictive disorders or aggressive behavior that can also result from a personality disorder. Therefore, getting professional and quick help when symptoms occur is essential. Contact us now without obligation Tel: +49 3996 140490.
