Dissociation plays a crucial role in the experiences of those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), not only affecting emotional intensity and relationship dynamics but also contributing to fragmented self-identity. Unlike healthy dissociation, which provides a temporary buffer against stress, individuals with BPD often experience persistent dissociation that leaves them feeling disconnected from their sense of self. This lack of integration can lead to varying self-perceptions in different contexts. Recognizing the importance of dissociation might help illuminate the roots of BPD and guide pathways toward healing and integration.
Dissociation in BPD often feels like slipping into a fog, losing touch with one’s identity, and reflecting deeper struggles with an integrated sense of self.
Dissociation, when it goes into overdrive, disrupts a person's ability to maintain a cohesive self, leading to fragmented experiences of identity.
