What is a personality disorder? According to the American Psychiatric Association, 10 personality disorders are defined as one's thinking, feeling, and behaving deviating from the culture's expectations, causing distress or problems functioning, and lasting over time. The pattern of experience and behavior usually begins by late adolescence or early adulthood and causes distress or problems in functioning. Without treatment, personality disorders can be long-lasting. We interview EMDR certified therapist, consultant, and trainer Jamie Sedgwick about how EMDR therapy can help with personality disorders and attachment trauma.
