Mental health labels can be incredibly helpful because they point to a helpful path for the people suffering. BPD is another label. From my experience working with people with this diagnosis for the past several years, I've seen a strong link between BPD and Trauma. Often times, BPD symptoms serve as coping mechanism. Despite the challenges you may have faced with symptoms of BPD, it kept you alive, and enabled you to take this courageous step today! This is an achievement. The first of many to come, with your committment!

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) impacts the way you think and feels about yourself and others, causing problems functioning in everyday life. It can cause self-image issues, difficulty managing emotions and behavior, and a pattern of unstable relationships. I have experience in using DBT strategies to assist clients experiencing such difficulties. Contact me today to book a free consultation.

One of the most stigmatizing disorders, one that many will not understand unless they themselves live with it. As a clinician with BPD, I know the day-to-day challenges of the disorder both personally and academically. I do not believe in using solely top down approaches like DBT since BPD is a list of symptoms rooted in early childhood traumatic experiences/ events which we then build strategies to avoid in the future for survival. However, although this may initially be helpful, overtime it becomes more damaging than good and in order to change these reactions we have to first befriend and understand why it exists within us. This reduces the shame and guilt and empowers us to make the changes we envision with a thorough understanding of the self.
