The Dance of those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be defined as the projective-identification and transference of their identity to the extent that they do not know it on to someone else. What does this mean? It means that when the borderline in your life is sad, or hurt or afraid, rather than feel those feelings, as the non-borderline would, the borderline will turn on you in an effort to have you hold, act out and be the very feelings that they cannot hold, handle or cope with. It is a subconscious way to have mirrored back to self all that one feels but refuses to feel. It is essentially, the borderline trying to put distance between him or herself and his/her own unresolved and abandoned pain.

Weight loss has become a major concern among most ladies. Between taking care
of the kids and ensuring effective management of the family, it seems that we
are the most over-weight population. Notwithstanding, most of us have also tried
several workout programs, from dancing with Richard Simmons on the TV to
registering for a workout program in the gym center.
However, going through the hard work involved with these programs for a few
days and watching the response of your body system, it is easy to lose
enthusiasm and wonder if a miracle will happen. But all hope is not lost yet. A
lot of people have found a great difference between taking a routine workout
program and engaging in an effective outdoor activity. While the former will
sometimes be boring and render you very weak, the later is all fun, will boost
your spirit and you will also enjoy it while you lose a lot of calorie in the
process.

These rigid thought patterns actually trap people in the active throes of Borderline Personality Disorder until and unless they get professional help to begin to learn how to think beyond the distorted and constricted magical thinking of a primitive concept of "self" and "other". The all-or-nothing, black-and-white, cognitively distorted thoughts that are a hallmark of Borderline Personality Disorder begin in early childhood and are compounded over time resulting in people with BPD, in adulthood, being triggered back to past unresolved psychological woundedness that has its center in what I refer to as the core wound of abandonment.

All of us have some characteristics and behaviors that fall into the category of narcissism. Narcissism is on a continuum from mild, occasional, and subtle to the more ubiquitous, obvious or extreme behaviors of a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
