BPD Through a New Lens: A Transformative Workshop for Families

Based on Science. Compassion. and Effective Strategies

Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, or losing hope in your efforts to support your loved one? You're not alone—and it's not your fault. For too long, families have been left with the same bogus explanations, stigmatizing labels, and tools that simply don’t work.

This workshop will change everything.

Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary psychiatry, this workshop offers a radically new understanding of BPD—one that replaces blame with clarity, shame with empathy, and helplessness with real tools for change. Join us for a groundbreaking experience designed to understand what BPD is all about, to clarify what is needed to help effectively, how to avoid triggers and escalations, and improve connnections. This workshop will provide new insights and techniques for family members and clinicians. It will help people with lived experience to finally understand why they feel the way they do. You’ll gain powerful insights into your loved one’s behavior, learn what actually helps, and discover how to repair and rebuild your relationship.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Reframe BPD with new insights and clarity
  • Break the cycle of conflict, shame, and misunderstanding
  • Communicate in ways that foster trust and connection
  • Move from crisis management to sustainable support

If you're ready to accept BPD from a new perspective, this workshop is for you.
