Borderline Personality Disorder
Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
When it comes to addressing borderline personality disorder (BPD) in therapy, we believe in approaching it as a form of trauma rather than a stigmatized label. We recognize that individuals with BPD have often experienced significant emotional pain and distress in their lives, which has shaped their coping mechanisms and relational patterns.
In our therapeutic approach, we prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and emotions. We view BPD as a response to past traumas, whether they be childhood neglect, abuse, or other adverse life events. Our goal is to help you understand the impact of these traumas on your present-day functioning and support you in healing and developing healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
By adopting a trauma-informed lens, we acknowledge the validity of your experiences and work collaboratively to address the underlying wounds that contribute to BPD symptoms. We focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and validation. We understand the importance of providing a safe container for expressing your emotions, even the ones that may feel overwhelming or intense.
Throughout therapy, we integrate a range of evidence-based modalities to support your recovery journey. This may include elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), schema therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. We tailor our interventions to your unique needs, helping you regulate emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and build more fulfilling and stable relationships.
Our aim is to destigmatize BPD and create a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. We work together to help you reclaim your sense of self-worth, enhance your self-compassion, and establish a stronger foundation for emotional well-being. By acknowledging the trauma underlying BPD, we strive to support your healing and growth, fostering a more hopeful and fulfilling future.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Mental health labels can be incredibly helpful because they point to a helpful path for the people suffering. BPD is another label. From my experience working with people with this diagnosis for the past several years, I've seen a strong link between BPD and Trauma. Often times, BPD symptoms serve as coping mechanism. Despite the challenges you may have faced with symptoms of BPD, it kept you alive, and enabled you to take this courageous step today! This is an achievement. The first of many to come, with your committment!

Borderline Personality Disorder
Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we offer specialized support for individuals grappling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and dissociative symptoms often associated with BPD or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Our therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in relational dynamics, drawing from attachment theory, and somatic practices to address the complexities of these conditions.
For individuals with BPD, we understand the challenges of managing intense emotions, unstable relationships, and difficulties with self-identity. Our relational-focused therapy places a strong emphasis on building a secure therapeutic alliance, fostering a safe and trusting space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and relational patterns without judgment.
Dissociation, a common feature of BPD and C-PTSD, can present significant barriers to self-awareness and emotional regulation. Through somatic therapy techniques, we help clients reconnect with their bodies, facilitating a deeper understanding of how trauma is held on a physiological level. By incorporating somatic interventions, we aim to support individuals in regulating their nervous systems, grounding themselves in the present moment, and developing a greater sense of coherence and embodiment.
Our integrative approach blends relational attunement with somatic interventions to address the intersecting challenges of BPD and dissociation. By exploring the underlying attachment patterns and body-based responses, we collaborate with clients to navigate the complexities of emotional dysregulation and dissociative experiences. Through a compassionate and holistic framework, we work towards enhancing self-awareness, fostering emotional resilience, and promoting long-lasting healing and growth.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and affirming space where individuals with BPD and dissociation can find understanding, acceptance, and transformative healing. We are dedicated to supporting our clients on their journey towards reclaiming agency, restoring inner balance, and cultivating a greater sense of wholeness and well-being.
