Borderline Personality Disorder
Tangled Minds Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
There are a lot of opinions about BPD. It is our most highly stigmatized mental health disorder—and having this label attached can be incredibly painful. The idea of your very personality being "disordered" can make change seem impossible.
I treat BPD as a nervous system, attachment-based issue. In plain speak: in folks with BPD, the parts of our brain that monitor our close relationships can get really, really triggered, activate our fight-or-flight systems, and spiral into some extreme behaviors or thoughts with huge emotions. BPD means the sense of self—the story of who we are—is often shaky and highly dependent on the people around us. This isn’t a stable foundation for healthy relationships or a healthy life.
While I am trained in the gold standard for BPD—Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—I heavily integrate attachment theory, Mentalization-Based Therapy (literally helping people think about their thoughts in new ways and not get so stuck in them), and mindfulness.
My BPD treatment approach has four parts:
Stabilization: Learning how to calm the nervous system. Breath practices, sensory grounding, coping strategies, and meditation help us slow down in the moment and get our brains back online.
Acceptance and Mentalization: Briefly diving into the history and origin of where BPD developed in the patient. It doesn’t come out of nowhere; understanding its roots helps patients accept that the big explosions of emotion are rooted in early coping strategies and that you were doing your best to survive. This helps us step back, see the scared parts with some love, and start to build new stories about how we want to act in the world.
Attachment: Locking in to how we want to act with the people in our lives. We get specific! We learn specific ways to express our emotions in healthy ways and how to ask for our emotional needs to be met in ways that actually get them met—with good boundaries. Having a trusted therapist here is key. Navigating intimate relationships is tough at the best of times, but a BPD diagnosis makes it way more difficult. Having someone who understands traumatized attachment patterns and can tell you when you’re off track can make a world of difference.
Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: This doesn’t mean learning to sit still and feel all-pervading calm and peace. I don’t think that’s actually a thing! Practicing mindfulness specifically tailored to attachment disorders is one of the most helpful things we can do to slow the brain down, be able to "label" the intense thoughts and feelings, step back, and follow through with new actions. It’s tough. No one likes sitting and having to actually watch what comes up in their brains, but it’s worth it. Self-compassion doesn’t mean letting ourselves off the hook for behaviors that are harmful to ourselves or others. It means systematically building a brain that can sit with pain, understand and feel it, and then act in ways that actually help. Again: difficult, but worth it.
BPD therapy is difficult. My clients usually end up in therapy because trying to fix it on their own hasn't worked. With a clear path and clear goals, a better life is possible.
