EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Personality disorders reveal a deep interaction between ingrained behavioural tendencies and early relational experiences. Attachment bonds are the foundation of personality disorders, which frequently arise as adaptive reactions to unfulfilled emotional needs and stressful events. Whether it's borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, or others, each disorder reflects a unique constellation of attachment insecurities and coping mechanisms. Therapy offers a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering self-awareness, empathy, and resilience, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of their personality disorder, reclaiming agency over their thoughts and behaviours, and forging a path towards healing and authentic self-expression.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Living with a personality disorder (PD) can be deeply challenging and distressing. These individuals experience chronic difficulties in how they perceive themselves and relate to others, leading to unstable emotions, behaviors, and relationships. This instability can cause intense feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, and identity disturbance. Interpersonal conflicts and difficulty maintaining employment or stable housing are common. People with PDs face stigma and misunderstanding, which can exacerbate feelings of isolation and shame. Despite these challenges, with appropriate treatment that includes therapy and possibly medication, can help them to manage and improve their quality of life. Sorting out conflict in life, defining personal identity and intent, developing coping skills, establishing healthy boundaries, and building supportive relationships are essential aspects of recovery. Daniel is a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD).
