Study Notes
Understanding and Changing Default Patterns in BPD
- Default patterns in individuals with BPD or BPD traits tend to be negative responses developed over time through experiences, thoughts, feelings, or memories that cause beliefs driving behaviors.
- Negative default patterns may not be apparent until experiencing short or long-term consequences.
- Positive default patterns tend to have a positive outcome, while negative patterns have a higher likelihood of negative outcomes.
- Changing default patterns can be difficult due to the body and brain's tendency towards homeostasis.
- Dissonance occurs when trying to change default patterns, causing pushback from the brain and body.
- Change is possible, and it starts with recognizing and identifying default patterns.
- Default patterns have a payoff, which is why they are developed.
- Short-term rewards tend to have long-term consequences, such as addiction.
- Finding an adaptive strategy is key to replacing maladaptive behaviors.
- Learning new adaptive and healthy skills is like roller skating, the more you do it, the better you get at it.
- Practicing adaptive behaviors often can make them become the default response.
- A new workbook can help identify and learn skills to gain control over default patterns in BPD.
