Lincoln Stoller
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
From my work with people both functional and dysfunctional, and from the perspectives of conscious and subconscious intentions, I believe we are composed of multiple personalities that alternatively control us in reaction to our environment. That being said, the crucial link between how we think and how we act is how we perceive. Personality disorders are a combination of distorted perceptions and inappropriate reactions. After all, it's your behavior that determines how you're seen.
Your behavior is a map of how you perceive and interpret. Your behavior is a symptom, not a dysfunction. This is why I object to cognitive behavioral therapies that considers normal behavior to be the goal, and anything that makes others see you as normal to be a success. This is a bandage over an unhealed wound.
It is nearly impossible to change your personality unless you want to. Even then, your habits and attachments present roadblocks. It takes real commitment and a creative vision to drop old patterns and incubate new ones. And when I say "creative," I mean that you have to reinvent yourself. You will need skillful and unbiased support from someone who is not attached to your past and present.
It is a fundamental truth that you cannot appreciate change before you understand it. You will need to become your own warrior, advocate, and politician in beating back old urges, compulsions, regrets, and injuries. Memories are not the truth, and memories change as you become less reliant on them. All of this happens below your cognitive behavior, reasoning, and established patterns.
You can change your personality. What now appear as disorders are compensations for twisted habits, injured memories, learned perceptions, and unconscious triggers. You can change these if you want to. Find enough love for and faith in yourself to do what is essential in the long term. Drop your coping strategies and aim for something greater than what you can see.

Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Personality patterns often develop as ways of protecting yourself, navigating relationships, and responding to past experiences. Therapy can help you better understand your emotions, relational patterns, and protective parts while building greater self-compassion, emotional regulation, and a more connected sense of self. You are more than your diagnosis, and healing is possible through deeper understanding and support.

Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Restoring Internal Peace: Navigating Emotional Intensity and Relational Shifts
Living with a personality disorder—or navigating the intense emotional turbulence associated with one—often feels like moving through the world without emotional armor. Everyday interactions can trigger profound surges of anxiety, deep-seated fears of abandonment, or sudden shifts in how you view yourself and the people you care about most.
When your nervous system stays stuck in high-alert, protecting yourself can end up creating intense inner turmoil and volatile relationship patterns. It is an exhausting cycle: longing for deep, safe connection while simultaneously feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or terrified of vulnerability.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we provide a stable, non-judgmental sanctuary where you are treated with dignity, not labeled by a diagnosis. Guided by our foundational values of empathy, integrity, tailored care, and authentic growth, we offer a structured, heart-centered space to help you make sense of these overwhelming emotional waves.
Through our neurobiologically-grounded, trauma-informed approach, we support you to:
Soothe Nervous System Dysregulation: Develop practical somatic grounding tools to navigate sudden emotional spikes, chronic distress, and feelings of emptiness safely.
Transform Relational Patterns: Understand underlying attachment wounds, build healthy communication strategies, and cultivate secure boundaries that foster lasting, stable relationships.
Anchor a Secure Sense of Self: Dismantle severe self-criticism, integrate fragmented emotional experiences, and build a quiet, steady self-trust rooted in genuine peace and resilience.
You are far more than a set of symptoms or coping patterns. Healing is about coming home to yourself—moving away from constant survival mode so you can step into balanced relationships, emotional stability, and restored vitality.
