Borderline Personality Disorder
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
The primary model that I use with individuals with BPD symptoms is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Marsha Linehan has designed this model specifically for this diagnosis. In DBT, rather than solely challenging thoughts, which is typical in the cognitive behavioural model, I incorporate mindfulness skills to help you gain awareness of what bodily responses you experience when responding to dysfunctional thoughts and emotions. I also help you learn how to express your needs without letting emotions take over. In order to regulate emotions, I offer a variety of strategies and provide psychoeducation on assertiveness skills and interpersonal effectiveness.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is extremely challenging. Individuals who suffer with BPD experience intense emotional turmoil, unstable relationships, and a fragile sense of self. Mood swings, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors can lead to tumultuous interpersonal relationships and difficulties in daily life. People with BPD often struggle with feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, and a distorted self-image. Managing BPD entails engaging with a helper who understands their situation, commitment to developing coping skills that includes accepting support that may include medication. Despite challenges, with treatment and support, individuals with BPD can manage and lead fulfilling lives. Daniel has several close family members with BPD, and he understands both the struggles they face and those experienced by their loved ones.

In working with Borderline Personality Disorder, I offer compassionate support as we explore how your personal history has shaped this complex condition.

By learning to regulate and reframe the intense emotions that feel overwhelming, you can develop a more balanced and grounded view of yourself and others. Through this process, you'll gain tools to navigate life with greater stability and ease, fostering healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self.
