Tracey Nguyen
Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
For people struggling with BPD, fear of abandonment, rejection and getting approved of/accepted by others become the base of how we operate in relationships. People pleasing, feeling afraid to voice ourselves and our emotions going up and down based on other people and external things that happen control the mood in our lives. Healing BPD is all about paying attention to what our inner most needs are and meeting our emotional needs. We work on healing how you show up for yourself in the context of relationships, and cultivate the courage to see relationship triggers as an opportunity to meet our needs and come back home to ourselves. We work on your voice and re-owning yourself within a relationship.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
One of the most stigmatizing disorders, one that many will not understand unless they themselves live with it. As a clinician with BPD, I know the day-to-day challenges of the disorder both personally and academically. I do not believe in using solely top down approaches like DBT since BPD is a list of symptoms rooted in early childhood traumatic experiences/ events which we then build strategies to avoid in the future for survival. However, although this may initially be helpful, overtime it becomes more damaging than good and in order to change these reactions we have to first befriend and understand why it exists within us. This reduces the shame and guilt and empowers us to make the changes we envision with a thorough understanding of the self.
