**Do Those with BPD Know What They’re Doing?**

People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often struggle to understand their own emotions and actions due to the intense emotional dysregulation they experience. This emotional intensity, along with identity disturbances and trauma from past experiences, can make self-awareness challenging. For example, someone with BPD might quickly swing from happiness to sadness and blame others for their feelings, without realizing that their own emotions are at play. Coping mechanisms like denial or projection, and difficulty trusting positive feedback, further complicate their ability to see themselves clearly. Trauma and inconsistent feedback from others can deepen the confusion about their identity and role in relationships, making it difficult to recognize their own behaviors.

Daniel J. Fox, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist in Texas, international speaker, and a multi-award-winning author. He has been specializing in the treatment and assessment of individuals with personality disorders for over 20 years in the state and federal prison system, universities, and in private practice. His specialty areas include personality disorders, ethics, burnout prevention, and emotional intelligence.

He has published several articles and books in these areas and is the author of:
