Neurodivergence and Personality Disorders

C.E.S

When the brain is wired differently

Not all people feel the same, because not all brains are built the same way.

Feeling “the same” often is not a choice; and still there is nothing we would wish the most: to belong and feel part of this big family called humanity.

Many people struggle to have this need fulfilled and the reasons are various.

What is certain is that the old concept of personality “disorder” is obsolete.

Every mind has an “order” of its own; and we all know that an “order” to exist needs rules which are then codified.

Learning the Code is my challenge. Anything after that is Art.

Psychotherapy is a combination of science, compassion, and artistic creation, as unique as We All are.

When the brain is wired differently

Not all people feel the same, because not all brains are built the same way.

Feeling “the same” is often not a choice; yet it is still what many of us long for most of all: to belong, and to feel part of this big family called humanity.

Many people struggle to have this need fulfilled, and the reasons are varied. What is certain, however, is that the old concept of personality “disorder” is now obsolete.

Every mind has an “order” of its own. And for an “order” to exist, it needs rules, which then become codified.

Learning the Code is my challenge. Everything that follows is Art.

Psychotherapy is a meeting of science, compassion, and creative expression; as unique as we all are.

To treat personality disorders, complex and atypical presentations, we use different tools combined into a new method called Biopsychoanalysis®.

Biopsychoanalysis is a new approach to psychological therapy inspired by a modern theory of physics which puts into discussion the subjective experience of reality and recognises the Mind as a potentially limitless, creative and healing source.

Since 2018, Biopsychoanalysis is also a complementary medicine modality accredited by the IICT.

Its core structure is dialectical with an additional focus on the bodily felt-sense. It comprises variations of behavioural treatment, analytic therapy, biofeedback and cranial electrotherapy.

Biopsychoanalysis has been successfully applied to the treatment of:

"Emotional and impulsive" conditions such as

Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), Borderline Type
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD);

"Suspicious" components of conditions such as

Paranoid (traits)
Schizotypal Personality Disorder (STPD)
Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD);

"Anxious" components of conditions such as

Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).

All personality disorders exist on a spectrum, with varying levels of severity. Your symptoms may sometimes appear ambiguous.

In such cases, receiving a clear diagnosis can be difficult, and traditional treatments for comorbid symptoms such as anxiety or depression may not always be effective.

If you are unsure about the way you think and feel, we may be able to help. You can request an assessment with us. A formal diagnosis is not required to access our services; however, in some cases we may need to request one before continuing treatment. If so, we will refer you to a specialist and provide them with a detailed report about your case.
