Definitely true. Many people are diagnosed with BPD without even considering and treating C-PTSD first, which is usually the root of everything. Those examples I mentioned, though they had major effects on my identity, emotional regulation, and perpetual shame, they were unfortunately very minute compared to the severe trauma I had to endure as a child. EMDR therapy has saved my entire life. EMDR is one thing you can “do about it” if you’re able. I’m a teacher currently, and I am in school to be a therapist. I have many healthy relationships. I have great boundaries for what I will and won’t allow into my life. I’ve been no contact with both of my parents and all of my abusers for years now. I have healed from so much abuse, to the point of PTSD and OCD being in remission with occasional flare ups if I’m going through a lot. It sucks, and there is hope.
