The BPD Lens is a perspective that individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) develop, causing distorted views of themselves and the world. This lens influences negative beliefs, behaviors, and patterns, sustaining the BPD cycle. To challenge the BPD Lens, individuals must recognize and question these distortions, seeking balance and authenticity. This involves identifying negative self-perceptions and replacing them with positive, authentic views achieved through relaxation techniques. Although change takes time, resisting default thoughts and behaviors empowers individuals to build an authentic self-view, fostering personal growth and control over their world. Regular practice can lead to a more empowered and authentic way of approaching life despite the challenges presented by the BPD Lens.
