Personality Disorders
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
A diagnosis of a personality disorder can sometimes bring clarity, but it can also leave people feeling reduced to a label or defined by their most difficult patterns. I take a non-pathologizing approach, viewing longstanding emotional and relational patterns as understandable adaptations that developed in response to particular experiences, needs, and environments. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than shame, including how they affect relationships, self-worth, trust, boundaries, and emotional regulation. The goal is not to erase parts of who you are, but to build greater awareness, flexibility, self-compassion, and choice in how you relate to yourself and others.

Personality Disorders
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.
