What we'll cover

  • Understand BPD traits through a trauma-informed, nervous-system lens rather than a label.
  • Recognise emotional dysregulation, abandonment sensitivity and shame cycles as they show up in session.
  • Hold clear, compassionate boundaries and frames that reduce rupture and increase safety.
  • Respond to crisis contact, self-harm disclosures and risk without abandoning the therapeutic relationship.
  • Use ACT and validation-based strategies to build distress capacity and values-led action.
  • Notice and work with your own activation, so you can stay steady and avoid burnout.

Who this is for

  • Mental health clinicians.
  • Provisional and early-career practitioners wanting practical structure for complex presentations.
  • Experienced clinicians looking for a relational, trauma-informed refresher.
  • Supervisors and team leads supporting practitioners who hold this work.
