I believe that the most important first step is to conduct a thorough diagnostic procedure. I have come across many individuals who carry this diagnosis when in fact other psychological explanations are a better fit. Once a diagnosis is made, the most important factor is to design a program for the individual's circumstances.

For those with BPD, who often struggle with intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a fragmented sense of self, Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) provides a safe and supportive environment to explore these experiences. My job is to establish a holding field which fosters relational presence, mindfulness based approaches and body awareness, thereby helping individuals to develop greater emotional regulation, reduce impulsivity, and build a more coherent sense of self. The therapeutic relationship in CPP is also crucial, as it provides a steadfast and compassionate presence that can help individuals with BPD develop trust and experience corrective emotional experiences that facilitate healing and growth.
