Experimental Treatment

Group I: Trauma Recovery Program (official title TBD)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

The trauma recovery program (TRP) is a seven-session, peer-led, group program for family members/significant others of people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and emotion dysregulation. It draws on principles of cognitive processing therapy for PTSD and cognitive behavioural conjoint therapy for PTSD to target PTSD symptoms in these individuals that are related to having a loved one with BPD or emotion dysregulation. As a peer-support model, it is not a psychotherapy. The TRP involves learning about common reactions to trauma and learning methods of challenging trauma-related beliefs that inhibit trauma recovery. Group members are asked to practice exercises outside of sessions that focus on challenging beliefs that fall into several key trauma-related themes.
