-
-
EUPD stands for Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder [EUPD]. BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder [BPD] also known as EUPD.
Our personality is our way of adapting to and coping with the world around us. Some people unintentionally develop inflexible and unhelpful ways of adapting to their environment which can cause them huge distress and pain to those close to them. The term BPD / EUPD is used to describe a coping style that is emotionally volatile and marked by turbulent mood states, behaviours and relationships. It has been closely linked with childhood trauma, with pre-adolescent physical, emotional and sexual abuse often disclosed. Coping with such trauma is associated with poor emotional development and inadequate problem solving strategies being used in situations of high emotion leading to consequences that are often regretted.
