Clarity in intense relationships
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
When emotions become intense and quickly shifting, both partners may feel trapped in cycles of closeness, conflict, and repair. Skillful structure can create more room for stability.

John's approach
Intensity is not the same as intimacy. The work is to build enough predictability and skill that closeness no longer requires emotional emergencies.
Couples work is coordinated thoughtfully with individual treatment and is not a substitute for specialized psychiatric or crisis care.
You do not have to figure this out alone.
Start with a confidential conversation about what is happening and what you hope can change.
