Did you know?
There is a consistent link between receiving compassion from mental health professionals and improved therapeutic alliance, reduced stigma, and enhanced self-perception for BPD clients (Street-Matox et all., 2025)
Due to a lack of understanding of BPD, many mental health professionals distance themselves from BPD clients and prematurely give up on treatment (something that is often perceived to be the other way around). (Ociskova et al., 2023)
Some health providers show a belief that BPD clients have more control of their actions and are more responsible for their presentation than clients with other mental health diagnoses, denoting a clear stigma (Klein, Fairweather, and Lawn, 2022)
