With my PD issues, I have felt like I needed to be “re-socialized”. I had dissociation issues, too, which a trauma specialist therapist has helped me with. Getting in touch with and reconnected to a lot of emotional pain has been essential. We’ve pretty much done that and are working on mostly the PD stuff right now and I feel like we’re making progress on that, too. I’ve also been attending activities at a local peer support center, trying to learn to be “myself”, take some social risks, experience the consequences, and consciously learn from them. I’m not close with family currently and don’t work so the peer support center is an important part of my social life.
From what I’ve read the general consensus is that personality is a joint product of nature and nurture, of temperament and socialization.
Does the idea of “re-socialization” as a component of help for personality disorders (or maybe it should be called “personality dysfunction”) make sense to anyone else here?
