I have been working with clients with BPD or BPD traits since 2021 from a psychodynamic and mindfulness-based framework. I have a genuine interest in helping those with borderline personality disorder and borderline personality traits.

Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is reputed to be one of the most difficult situations for establishing a positive therapeutic relationship. It's also a huge wastebasket of symptoms into which many difficult and indistinguishable conditions are thrown. As a result, there are many variations on BPD whose common elements are their breadth, depth, variability, and difficulty in building a foundation. I must admit that my interest in BPD is based on curiosity and past experience. I have had success in helping clients who identify themselves as BPD. Marsha Linehan's Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is considered most effective, but if you look at what it involves you'll see it's based on the simple principles of commitment, honesty, responsibility, and self-awareness. Linehan's DBT workbooks simply break this process into stages and provide a program for you to improve in each area, one at a time.
These workbooks have been helpful to my clients because they have been designed for people with issues common to BPD. Not only are these areas of weakness, they're also areas that people with BPD have trouble understanding. I see this as the underlying project: to understand the meaning of commitment, honesty, responsibility, and self-awareness and to strengthen and apply these skills. Everyone can benefit from this, but being committed to this program is essential for people with BPD symptoms. What you're working toward is to condense yourself to a single, grounded, collaborative personality; one that stops engaging in behaviors that are misleading, unrealistic, uncontrolled, and self-sabotaging.
I have clients and I have known people I consider strong candidates for a BPD diagnosis. Most of these people are not seeking help, do not recognize themselves to be the source of their problems, do not understand commitment, honesty, responsibility, and self-awareness, and are not making any effort to change. It's the other people who are diagnosed or who diagnose themselves who are interested in taking responsibility and making a change. If this describes you, then you are in a much better situation than the many BPD people who are unwilling to recognize themselves as the source of their problems. If you think your life can be characterized by the BPD diagnosis, then I encourage you to pursue it as a way to strengthen essential character features. It really doesn't matter what label you carry, it's the motivation to improve yourself that's important.

Maryam, Abro
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, MC
I support clients with Borderline Personality Disorder by focusing on building emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healthier relationships. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients balance acceptance with change, develop skills to manage intense emotions, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy are used to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build a stronger sense of self. My goal is to empower clients to create lasting change and build a life worth living.
