The guest of the podcast is psychotherapist Eliška Hrbková, who runs the Day Clinic for clients with personality disorders at the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital. At the same time, he also has his own private psychotherapy practice, in which he specializes in the therapy of emotionally unstable personality disorders. In the therapy of personality disorders, Eliška Hrbková primarily uses dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), which leads clients to acquire a set of skills designed to manage emotional crises. The direction subsequently teaches a person to deal with his own emotionality so that emotions do not bring him suffering, but benefit. And as a result, the possibility of creating a life worth living. The podcast is focused on the issue of emotionally unstable personality disorder, more precisely on its borderline subtype. Most burdened with a diagnosis of a personality disorder, they face a very strong stigmatization. Society-wide condemnation is primarily based on the deeply rooted belief that a person suffering from a personality disorder is a psychopath who manipulates others, uses the environment only to achieve his own goals, has no inhibitions or conscience, is unpredictable, and therefore tends to be dangerous. And that is why it is better to avoid such a person. At the same time, people with personality disorders are considered incurable without specifying the difficulties. Unfortunately, a large number of psychiatrists still approach them that way. The reality is different, and this also applies to emotionally unstable or borderline personality disorder (BPD). Its development, manifestations and therapy are mainly discussed in the podcast. Fortunately, the situation in the treatment of clients suffering from (not only) borderline personality disorder is changing for the better in the Czech Republic thanks to education and the considerable efforts of some therapists and people with BPD.
