Borderline Personality Disorder
Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition where you have challenges controlling emotions. You feel emotions more intensely and for longer than the average person.
Strong emotions (guilt, shame, anxiety, etc.) can be very painful and you may become angry easily. It is often difficult to feel positive emotions, like happiness and it can feel impossible to control your emotions. Relationships with your family and friends are affected by these emotions, and feelings of loneliness and isolation are a result.
When emotions run your life, you can experience extra challenges, such as:
Overreacting
Mood swings
Frequent crises
Suicidal thoughts and destructive behaviour
Impulsiveness
Substance misuse
Relationship problems
Fear of abandonment
Are these challenges familiar? Have you done a counselling program in the past to address these issues but would like to continue counselling?
The good news is that I have been providing counselling to individuals, and their partners/family members, who struggle with BPD and other challenges since 2015. I have experience helping people learn new skills and to change behaviours and take control of their lives.
Counselling can help you understand BPD and provide you with emotional support, skills and training to manage your emotions and improve your relationships with loved ones.

Borderline Personality Disorder
EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) unveils a complex interplay of emotional wounds and relational dynamics. It is frequently the result of intense feelings of instability and abandonment fear, which have their roots in early attachment experiences. Trauma, whether explicit or implicit, further shapes the landscape, deepening the scars of relational ruptures. Individuals with BPD may oscillate between intense feelings of love and rage, seeking validation and connection yet fearing rejection and betrayal.
BPD reflects a desperate longing for secure attachments, juxtaposed with a profound fear of engulfment or abandonment. Therapy becomes a journey of unraveling these intricate patterns, forging new pathways of understanding and healing. By cultivating self-awareness and fostering secure relationships, individuals can learn to navigate the turbulent waters of BPD with greater resilience and emotional regulation. In this journey of self-discovery, compassion becomes the anchor, guiding towards a place of greater stability and authentic connection.
