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!
