Borderline Personality Disorder
Understanding Trauma’s Role and Our Treatment Approach
At Khiron Clinics, we understand that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD), often has its roots in unresolved trauma. Unlike traditional mental health clinics that focus on managing diagnoses, our approach prioritizes uncovering and healing the underlying causes of emotional distress. This method ensures not only relief but also long-term recovery and resilience.
At Khiron clinics, we see mental health issues as manifestations of unresolved trauma that leads to a dysregulated nervous system.
What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
BPD is a complex mental health condition characterized by intense emotional instability, fear of abandonment, difficulty maintaining relationships, and impulsive behaviors. While the symptoms of BPD can feel overwhelming, they are often linked to unprocessed trauma, adverse childhood experiences, or chronic stress. At our mental health clinic, we view these symptoms as the mind and body’s response to unresolved pain rather than merely a “disorder” to be managed.
What Causes BPD?
Borderline Personality Disorder is often rooted in a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Unresolved trauma, such as adverse childhood experiences, neglect, or abuse, plays a significant role in the development of BPD. These experiences can impact emotional regulation, relationships, and self-perception, creating the foundation for BPD symptoms. At Khiron Clinics, we specialize in addressing these root causes to foster lasting healing.
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
How Khiron Clinics Treats the Root Cause of BPD
Our trauma-informed mental health clinic offers a holistic treatment model that goes beyond surface-level symptom management. We provide:
- Trauma-Informed Therapy
- Our therapists are trained in cutting-edge modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These therapies are designed to process and release trauma held in the body and mind, which is often at the core of BPD symptoms.
- Initial Consultation
- Each client begins with an initial consultation with a senior therapist to identify the unique factors contributing to their emotional and mental health challenges.
- Integrated Treatment Plans
- We develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs, incorporating psychotherapy, body-based interventions, and holistic care.
- Residential and Outpatient Options
- Our residential treatment program in Wantage, Oxfordshire, provides a safe and supportive environment for intensive healing. Outpatient options are also available for clients requiring more flexibility.
Long-Term Healing Through Trauma Treatment
At Khiron Clinics, we believe that lasting recovery from BPD requires addressing the root causes of emotional suffering. Our trauma-informed approach enables clients to move beyond coping mechanisms and achieve profound, sustainable healing. This not only alleviates the symptoms of BPD but also empowers individuals to lead fulfilling lives.
