BPD Focus is a service-user led group which provides a safe space for sharing experiences of living with a personality disorder.
The group members meet once a week with Amy, the group facilitator, to discuss topics (e.g. self sabotage, confrontation, abandonment, guilt and shame) and offer support to each other through talking and listening in an open environment.
What to expect -
A small group of people with borderline personality disorder or suspected BPD meet once a week for 2 hours in the Centre Court building on Exeter Street, Plymouth. The session starts first and foremost with teas and coffees before taking seats in a circle.
Then group members are given the opportunity to share positive and negative aspects that they experienced that week.
Next an agreed topic will be discussed by Amy and experiences and advice will be shared amongst the group.
