I haven't had too much success with counseling so I'm looking for other options for BPD management and recovery. I've found guided meditation helpful so I've become interested in audio recording for deep relaxation meditation and sleep hypnosis. However, I wanted to research the topic a bit before fully immersing myself in an alternative sort of therapy. So far I've come across limited and mixed information on google. Some therapists seem to have concern over pw/BPD or other serious mental illness developing psychosis through use of trance. I also came across an article that voiced the concern that the BPD patient might develop an inappropriate bond/fixation on the hypnotist (though I don't think that's an issue if I stick to tapes). However, there are also people who claim hypnosis has helped them immensely and in ways that medication and therapy did not.

I'd love to hear if anyone in this community has tried this option or looked into it at all. What are your thoughts on hypnotherapy as a treatment option for BPD? Do you have any resources for more information on the topic that you can recommend?
