> That’s why borderline is so fundamentally hard to treat. It’s so easy for some borderlines to develop the coping mechanisms to evade the consequences of their actions that they’re not affected, and “fundamentally caring about someone other than yourself” doesn’t seem to come naturally to a borderline. I wonder how helpful psychedelics would be in treating the narcissistic aspect of BPD. Revelatory experiences (coming into contact with the Great Other) and ego death might reset the dysfunction of one’s personality. Or at least give that person greater perspective and insight into their condition.
