honestly, it’s too bad there aren’t psychosomatic meds in equestria. they’ve been lucky so far with their scheme of “set the lunatic / sociopath / psychopath with reality-warping abilities loose and just hope everything works out in the end.”you know, that’s something i’d love to see. they attempt this with chrysalis and it fails miserably. she takes full advantage of this to pretend to be reformed only to catch them at their most vulnerable, and nearly take them down.

The treatement for BPD is Dialectical behavior therapy which:
Her first core insight was to recognize that the chronically suicidal patients she studied had been raised in profoundly invalidating environments, and, therefore, required a climate of loving-kindness and somewhat unconditional acceptance (not Rogers’ positive humanist approach, but Hanh’s metaphysically neutral one), in which to develop a successful therapeutic alliance.[note 1] Her second insight involved the need for a commensurate commitment from patients, who needed to be willing to accept their dire level of emotional dysfunction.DBT strives to have the patient view the therapist as an ally rather than an adversary in the treatment of psychological issues. Accordingly, the therapist aims to accept and validate the client’s feelings at any given time, while, nonetheless, informing the client that some feelings and behaviors are maladaptive, and showing them better alternatives. DBT focuses on the client acquiring new skills and changing their behaviors, with the ultimate goal of achieving a “life worth living”, as defined by the patient.
