What is Histrionic Personality Disorder?

Baffled by someone you know? This might explain everything.

Sometimes when you’re trying to connect with a family member or friend and their behavior is difficult to understand, you may be dealing with someone who displays signs of Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD.)

In this video I explain Histrionic Personality Disorder and the signs and symptoms that are exhibited by a person with HPD. There is a criteria for HPD because these symptoms not coupled together could indicate narcissism, insecurity, or coping mechanisms used to deal with a situation or circumstance.

In later videos I’ll discuss possible causes of HPD and the 6 subtypes of HPD. I am also aware of some cases where patients with HPD have used triangulation and even gaslighting to get the attention they needed. I’ll approach that in an upcoming video as well. This information might help you to be aware and understand someone in your life.

I’ve dedicated my life to searching, advocating, and offering a powerful and practical perspective for people to live a more rewarding life. I work to share the necessary life tools for helping people to identify their true self, identifying one’s true life separate from the growing up process and the possible unhealthy family dynamic. Once you're able to identify the "original you", and discover what it is you believe at the core of your being, you can then cultivate and nurture a solid identity based on your values, beliefs, and finding unconditional self-love for yourself.

There’s also a podcast you can listen to on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Spotify, and Spreaker amongst others.
I created a show called The Celebrity Perspective on Amazon Prime with some amazing celebrities being honest and true about themselves, how they feel and what they want from life. I’m the Live Your True Life Coach, Toxic Relationship to Divine Identity Coach and my latest book: The 10 Day Challenge to Live Your True Life.
