Avoidant Personality Disorder: Understanding and Supporting Loved Ones

When you're treating someone with personality disorder, you're trying to upend all they feel about themselves and the world right, like you're trying to change their entire concept of reality.
Ever wondered why some people seem to vanish at the first hint of a social event? They might be dealing with avoidant personality disorder (AVPD). In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon dive into the complexities of AVPD. This isn't just about being shy; it's a deeper issue where individuals avoid relationships and social interactions due to a profound sense of inadequacy.
Jacqueline and Kibby break down what AVPD is, how it stands apart from social anxiety, and the various treatment options available. They also share practical advice for those who have loved ones grappling with this condition. From understanding the emotional burden to learning how to support someone effectively, this episode offers valuable insights. Tune in to gain a better grasp of AVPD and discover ways to help those affected by it.
