If you have a family member or spouse with Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD), stepping back may not be an option. However you may not have to if you understand how to maintain boundaries and strength in the relationship. Like anything else in life, when we understand fully what we are dealing with, we can understand how we want to engage, respond, or step back from a situation.
When we give in to someone or placate them, we aren’t helping them to grow and we’re acting against our values and beliefs to keep the peace. Standing one’s ground is challenging and can feel overwhelming, however in these situations, you can not lose your identity or compromise it for someone else.
This video explains how to understand and properly deal with someone with Histrionic Personality Disorder. Knowing the symptoms of HPD is key to understanding what you’re honestly dealing with. If you missed last week’s post on how to recognize HPD you can find it HERE.
