Who is the Resilient Relationships group for?

 What You Need to Know about Resilient Relationships

How does BPD affect relationships?

BPD can significantly impact how a person relates to others. Individuals with BPD often struggle to manage strong emotions, which can lead to sudden and intense anger or emotional outbursts. A deep fear of abandonment is common, making it difficult for them to feel secure in close relationships.
Because of this, they may worry frequently that loved ones will leave or withdraw, leading to frantic efforts to keep others close. Relationships can feel like a cycle of chaos and closeness—at times deeply connected, and at other times unstable or unpredictable.
Impulsivity is also common and may appear as binge eating, overspending, substance use, or other risky behaviors. Some individuals may engage in self-harm (such as cutting or burning) or express suicidal thoughts as a way to manage emotional pain.

What makes this group different?

This is therapist-led group therapy, not just a support group. Dr. Tennille Warren-Phillips, a licensed psychologist specializing in personality disorders and group psychotherapy, provides evidence-based strategies and a safe, structured space for growth.

Final Call-to-Action
Ready to take the next step toward clarity, resilience, and healthier relationships?

  • Have you lost your cool one too many times on the job and now your employment is in jeopardy?
  • Are you lashing out on those you care about only to later regret your tone and words?
  • Find yourself in a road rage fit when someone cuts you off?
  • Do you often feel your temper rise at seemingly insignificant inconveniences?

Your temper does not have to get out of control. You can temper your rage and develop the skills to transform those heated emotions so that they do not have a strong hold on you. Transforming Temper is a 10 session program in which participants learn the warning signs of rising levels of anger, develop healthy emotional regulation skills, and hold each other accountable in a supportive online setting.
