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.

Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
People with BPD often come with many strengths, like a strong sense of compassion towards others, a powerful imagination as well as creative talents and abilities. However, emotional dysregulation, sometimes leading to unstable interpersonal relationships can make life difficult. I treat BPD through the use of DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) as well as transference based therapy.
