Histrionic Personality Disorder

Treatment for Histrionic Personality Disorder at Red Top Wellness Center

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a Cluster B personality disorder, often marked by intense emotional expression and a persistent need for approval. Because these patterns can make it difficult to sustain a routine, a residential setting provides the immersive experience needed to establish stability.

At Red Top Wellness Center, every histrionic personality disorder treatment plan is built around the individual. That way, you receive care tailored to how HPD shows up in your specific relationships, behaviors, and emotional patterns.

Our Treatment Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It promotes healthier thinking to improve emotional well-being and daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT helps individuals manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve relationships. It teaches skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance.

Medication Management

While there’s no medication specifically approved to treat HPD, many people benefit from medication for co-occurring symptoms, like anxiety or depression. If medication is necessary (and wanted), our team monitors and adjusts the regimen throughout treatment.

Other Personality Disorders We Treat

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

NPD involves a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and a need for admiration that can also strain relationships and self-image.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

HPD often occurs alongside other mental health conditions, such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Because these conditions can intensify one another, our team screens for co-occurring disorders from the start. That way, your treatment plan is tailored to address everything you’re experiencing, and you’ll leave our facility feeling the freedom of full recovery.

Family Involvement

Personality disorders affect relationships as much as they affect the individual, which is why we make sure family involvement is a core part of your treatment. We offer family therapy sessions and educational resources that help loved ones understand histrionic personality disorder. The goal is for those who are closest to you to recognize HPD’s patterns and learn how to support recovery once you return home.

Holistic Therapies

Whether you need a constructive outlet for self-expression or an alternative therapeutic technique to support emotional regulation, our program incorporates many approaches outside of traditional talk therapy.

We incorporate holistic therapies, such as red light therapy or biosound therapy, into care plans as needed to treat the whole person rather than just the diagnosis.

  • Extreme emotional expression
  • Rapidly shifting, shallow emotions
  • Depressive episodes (or a feeling of underappreciation) when they are not the center of attention
  • Constantly seeking reassurance or approval
  • Difficulty maintaining relationships
  • Acting inappropriately sexually and using their appearance to draw attention to themselves
  • Seeking instant gratification
  • Impressionistic or vague speech
  • Becoming easily bored or frustrated easily

If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms, and especially if these symptoms are interfering with daily life, it may be time to talk to someone about residential treatment.
