Borderline Personality Disorder
Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
BPD can include self-image problems, difficulty managing emotions and behaviours, and patterns of unstable relationships. Those who struggle with BPD often experience intense fear about being abandoned and suffer from intense mood swings and impulsiveness that push others away, even when the individual longs most for a loving and stable relationship. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a good treatment option. The most important is that I will provide you a safe, supportive, and understanding environment where we can work together through the issues.

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.
