Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Therapy
Borderline Personality Disorder can feel overwhelming — marked by intense emotions, sensitivity in relationships, and difficulty
managing distress. At Kaimana Psychology, we believe that people with BPD are not “too much” — they are often
deeply empathetic, emotionally attuned, and capable of incredible growth with the right support.
Who Can Benefit from Therapy?
Therapy can benefit anyone who struggles with emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, self-criticism, or unstable relationships.
Individuals with BPD often experience emotions more deeply than others — therapy helps build the skills and understanding needed
to navigate those experiences with compassion and control.
Treatment Using Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach proven effective for treating BPD.
It focuses on developing four essential skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance,
emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Through DBT, clients learn to manage intense emotions without resorting to harmful coping behaviours, communicate more effectively,
and build a stronger sense of self. Therapy sessions often combine skill-building, emotional processing, and real-life practice,
helping clients find balance between acceptance and change.
How Therapy Helps
Therapy provides a safe, validating space to explore difficult emotions while learning new tools for emotional resilience.
Over time, clients often notice improved relationships, fewer emotional crises, and a growing sense of self-acceptance.
With consistent support, life becomes more stable and fulfilling.
At Kaimana Psychology, we work to remove the stigma surrounding Borderline Personality Disorder.
We understand that this diagnosis represents emotional pain and unmet needs — not brokenness.
Our approach centers compassion, respect, and empowerment, helping each client rediscover their worth and capacity for healing.
