The Borderline Trap of Expectation

Expecations can often be unrealistic based upon negative core beliefs that originate in childhood. Borderlines continue to act out the wounds of their inner children in ways that alienate them in their adult lives. It is this inability to emotionally mature beyond their "original wounds" that leads to the cognitive distortions that produce and support continued unrealistic expectations.

New Audio Program coming on this topic very soon by A.J. Mahari - please check back.

Expectations are a big part of what define both our actual experiences and our perception of those experiences. What we expect can be like a predictor of what is to come in the sense that expectations can take on a life of their own as self-fulfilling prophecy.

In Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) it is not uncommon to have life experience dictated and distorted by unrealistic expectations that arise from negative core beliefs. Negative core beliefs that those with BPD are often unaware of.

A.J. Mahari's up-coming audio program will not only address the negative core beliefs in BPD but will also reveal ways in tandem with her life coaching services that she can and does help those with BPD to augment the process of authentic self recovery through increasing awareness of one's negative core beliefs and then challenging them and changing them.
