“I don’t want your kindness. Your kindness feels like a trap—it stirs something I can’t control, and I don’t know if I can survive it.”

This statement captures the paradoxical struggles of borderline clients—where the yearning for connection collides with deep fears of dependency and rejection. Their lives are often marked by tumultuous relational conflicts, polarised emotions, and unmet relational needs. These challenges often stem from Early Affect Confusion – a developmental phenomenon arising from a caregiver’s continuous misattunement to a child’s affect, rhythm, and relational needs.
