Is it possible to leverage a person's HPD traits for stimulating them to learn about their problem, proceeding as is necessary to get better and to end up building a beautiful life?
If so, what could be done and how would that help? What are the risks and/or chances of regression?
The only risk that would pop up to my mind is if not doing it with sufficient ingenuity, they could find out. As a normal person I couldn't really be angry if I found out someone "tricked" me to get the beautiful life I've always wanted (in fact, I know my own weaknesses and trick myself all the time to maintain a high level of achievements). But there might be some important points I might be missing.
I'm not afraid of losing the person if she were to find out, as if I cannot help her heal, we will have lost each other anyways. I'd rather her risk hating me and never see her again than not try.

The people i have told who have become aware of their personality disorders only did so when they decided to look at what they themselves were doing wrong in their life.
They looked at the other side of the story.
I don't believe in would be a good idea to stimulate histrionic symptoms because you are just dealing with an ego, not a person. You need the person to see the ego. You need them to see their false self.
