Borderline Personality Disorder
& Attachment Trauma
What You’re Noticing
Intense emotions that feel out of control or disproportionate
Pervasive fear of abandonment and efforts to avoid it
Unstable relationships with partners, family, and friends
Engagement in risky behaviours, suicidality, or self injury
Chronic feelings of emptiness or dissociation
Rapidly changing sense of self and personal identity
History of trauma, especially involving a primary caregiver
Difficulty trusting others, even when you want to
Shifting between idealizing and withdrawing from others
I work with clients who have a formal diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as those who are exploring the possibility of BPD or recognize some of the associated symptoms. A diagnosis is not required to begin therapy.
How Therapy Can Help
Map attachment history and recognize current attachment patterns
Understand how personal, family, and societal contexts influence you today
Identify dominant narratives that shape your emotions and relationships
Experience and process your emotional pain in a safe, grounded environment
Build skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and staying present
Develop personalized strategies for interrupting reactive cycles
Improve communication and boundary setting skills that support relationships
