Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
The BPD and Trauma Connection Several trauma survivors have been diagnosed by other professionals with BPD , even though it is thought to be genetic in some cases. I have had extensive experience dealing with those who have been affected by this disorder due to the abuse or neglect they sustained during childhood. As a Mental Health Worker/Counsellor, on Ottawa's Victim Quick Response List for the past 9 years, I have successfully worked with over hundreds of Victim Service clients, in such areas as, child abuse, sexual trauma and exploitation including rape, incest, being sex trafficked, along with intimate partner violence.
Individuals with BPD reflect an attachment injury leading them to the formulation of implausible perceptions and conclusions about what other people’s actions and behaviors. Their distorted fashion of interpretation leads them to believe that they cannot trust anyone as this would only involve disappointment. As a child, when their caregiver did not show up for them, they tried desperately to adapt repeatedly, however were unsuccessful and learned that this involves too much energy and does not work. They continue to experience life as a child, as they have been left with these intense perspectives and overwhelming emotions which are turned up to maximum volume on much of what they feel. When these states become traits, they cause profound distress. Rejection sensitivity is a key feature of this disorder resulting in interpersonal difficulties, along with failed relationships characterized by extreme feelings of emptiness, abandonment, and lack of identity. All these behaviors further lead to the tendency for those around them to feel that they are walking on eggshells.
I often used both experiential inner child work in addition to Dialectical Behavior Skills to address the issues involved in this disorder.
The role of counselling for those with BPD is to start to uncover painful emotional wounds and feelings which they have disconnected from for years. Rather than sitting with and experiencing their feelings clients with BPD have been experts in covering, hiding, or dissociating from them. Interventions involving DBT-Dialectic Behavior Therapy includes skills training connected to Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation(Anger management), and Distress Tolerance, which is comprised of stress management, conflict resolution as well as cognitive behavior therapy.
While it has taken considerable time, I have helped many with this process through patience, understanding and validation of what they had been through. I help to provide light at the end of this dark tunnel .

Laval is a large suburb directly north of Montreal and one of Quebec's most ethnically diverse cities, with large South Asian, Caribbean, and Arab communities creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who understand the pressures of immigrant family life in a French-dominant province. French-language therapy is the norm, and access to English-speaking therapists is more limited than in Montreal. CISSS de Laval provides institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community serving those who prefer shorter waitlists and more therapist choice. Many Laval residents access the broader Montreal therapy ecosystem through direct transit connections and telehealth.
