Personality disorders can affect your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in a way that is different from the general population. A Mission For Michael Mental Health Treatment Centers provides comprehensive care options for personality disorders, including Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD). Our facilities are located in California, Washington, and Virginia.
We take time to review the common signs and symptoms of AVPD for other conditions we treat within AMFM facilities, ensuring accurate diagnoses. Treatment program options include mental health and dual diagnosis care. We encourage you to call (866) 478-4383 to explore our treatment for avoidant personality disorder and ask any specific questions you have!
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD) is known for causing a pattern of social anxiety and a fear of rejection that leads to a sense of inadequacy. Even with these symptoms, those living with AVPD have a strong desire for meaningful connections with others. AVPD falls under Cluster C personality disorders, all of which have shared anxiety and fear characteristics.
Avoidant personality disorder does share symptoms with social anxiety disorder, but there are distinct differences. Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, creates an intense fear of being watched or judged by others. This contributes to avoidance symptoms. AVPD has similar features but also includes a persistent struggle with low self-esteem. Anxiety is the primary symptom of social anxiety disorder, but this is not always the case for avoidant personality disorder. It is possible to experience something resembling a panic attack with AVPD. Avoidant personality disorder attack treatment can help you learn to cope with moments of intense anxiety.
Personality disorders are mental health conditions that we know little about. We’re familiar with their symptoms and effects but not so much with their causes. Some of the factors believed to contribute to the development of avoidant personality disorder include genetics, the connections you had with caregivers during infancy, early childhood experiences with rejection, and having a fearful attachment style.
A fearful attachment style exhibits a desire to have strong emotional connections with others but is unable to trust others due to a fear of rejection or denial. This pattern can begin as early as childhood if you have repeated experiences of being dismissed when you are distressed.
Avoidant personality disorder symptoms can create several challenges in your personal and social life. AVPD often begins in early adulthood, affecting your career aspirations and educational pursuits. Symptoms experienced usually vary from person to person, making this an individualized mental health condition. Symptoms commonly associated with AVPD include:
Treatment for avoidant personality disorder is designed to help overcome the fear of rejection and criticism that drives avoidance behaviors. Treatment centers offering AVPD care typically focus on improving social skills, enhancing self-esteem, and learning to manage anxiety in a social setting.
Treatment can occur in an inpatient treatment center or an outpatient treatment center, depending on the severity of your symptoms. Inpatient treatment centers like A Mission For Michael (AMFM) are ideal for those experiencing severe symptoms. Outpatient therapy clinics are an option for individuals who do not require round-the-clock support.
Yes, there are treatment providers, including A Mission For Michael, that offer confidential and free assessments. Our free assessments are a part of our admission process. We believe that you should have all the necessary information before making decisions about your mental health.
Contact us today to schedule your free and confidential avoidant personality disorder assessment. There are online quizzes and assessment tools, but we advise you to use caution, as many of these are generic resources not reviewed by mental health professionals. This can lead to invalid results and misinformation.
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD) can lead to a sense of low self-esteem, which can present as shyness and timidity. Isolation is a common result of these feelings. There are different types of AVPD, which are determined by the symptoms that you experience. It’s important to remember that the condition can also manifest differently from person to person.
Phobic avoidant can contribute to heightened fear of social situations because of a fear of embarrassment or rejection. By avoiding social situations, you can avoid intense feelings of anxiety that are difficult to cope with. However, this avoidance causes feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Conflicted avoidant is known for an internal struggle of wanting to have close emotional connections with others yet having a deep fear of them. These conflicting experiences can cause inconsistent social behaviors, such as going out to make connections and periods of isolation. These inconsistencies can be problematic for relationships.
Self-deserting avoidant can cause individuals to suppress or avoid their feelings, which creates distance within personal relationships and their sense of awareness. This can include avoiding acknowledging or addressing emotional needs, which can hinder your ability to grow in various aspects of life.
Hypersensitive avoidant is known for heightening a person’s sensitivity to criticism and what they perceive as rejection. You may think that a social interaction was unsuccessful when it may have been successful. These assumptions often cause social withdrawal and isolation in an attempt to protect yourself from experiencing emotional distress.

Treatment options for AVPD provide support in varying intensities and structures. Some of the common avoidant personality disorder treatments available include:
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD) is a personalized mental health condition that often has unique symptoms. Because of this, various therapeutic approaches can be incorporated into your treatment plan. Examples of some of the therapies available at a behavioral health center, such as A Mission For Michael (AMFM), include:
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy can be used to learn more about your unconscious thoughts and early life experiences that contributed to the development of avoidance symptoms. These therapies focus on helping you understand the connection that your past has with your present.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive therapy that incorporates the use of mindfulness practices to help you develop emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal skills. Implementing these skills can help decrease the anxiety that you experience in social situations.
CBT is a therapeutic approach that can be used for various mental health conditions. The goal of this therapeutic approach is to help you recognize and challenge unhealthy or negative thought patterns. This can include reframing thoughts about criticism and rejection while helping you learn new coping skills.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy combines the approaches of cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices to help you stay in the moment and decrease rumination symptoms. This approach can help you recognize your negative thoughts and improve your ability to effectively cope with them.
Transference-focused psychotherapy can help you understand your behaviors and work to address them by bringing your fears and worries into the therapist-client relationship. With this approach, you can gain new insights into how interpersonal dynamics affect your relationships and avoidance behaviors.
The goal of mindfulness-based therapy is to help you learn to stay in the present moment while feeling your emotions. Doing this without judgment can help you learn to stay grounded in the moment rather than being distracted by your fear and worries during social situations.
Schema-focused therapy is influenced by cognitive, behavioral, and experiential therapies. It helps you address your natural thought and behavioral patterns. Recovery centers that use this therapy can help you move away from the unhealthy beliefs you have about yourself and others, resulting in decreased avoidant personality disorder symptoms.
Support and group therapies can help you practice new social and coping skills in a safe and structured social setting. This can decrease feelings of isolation and allow you to address first-hand feelings of shyness and sensitivity to criticism. Sessions are led by mental health professionals who provide in-the-moment feedback and support.
