Living better with a so-called "borderline" personality through psychoanalysis, in Lyon or via teleconsultation

Why are my emotions and relationships sometimes so intense?

Very strong attachment, fear of losing the other, feelings of rejection, anger or rapid emotional shifts can make relationships particularly exhausting.
The work can focus on the singular way in which the relationship, separation, attachment and emotions are experienced.

Why am I so afraid of being abandoned or rejected?

A momentary distance can sometimes be experienced as a permanent break.
The fear of losing the other can then trigger intense anxiety and lead to seeking signs of reassurance.
Psychoanalysis allows exploration of one's relationship to attachment, separation and loss, as well as possible resonances with personal history.

Why do I sometimes react impulsively and then regret it?

Impulsivity can arise when emotional tension becomes difficult to bear.
Action can then produce immediate relief before giving way to regret or guilt.
Understanding what precedes these reactions allows exploration of their function and place in one's personal functioning.

How can I better understand my own functioning and reactions?

Psychoanalysis offers a regular framework in which emotions, relationships, repetitions and self-representations can be put into words.
The aim is not to reduce the person to a diagnosis, but to explore the singularity of their history and their relationship to others.
Depending on the intensity of the difficulties, other forms of support may be necessary or combined.

As a psychoanalyst in Lyon, I offer in-person and teleconsultation sessions to explore this functioning without reducing the person to a label.

A first meeting allows us to get acquainted, clarify your request and see whether a psychoanalytic approach suits your situation and expectations.
