Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
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.

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.
