Borderline dynamics often evoke some of the most powerful countertransference reactions in therapists—pulling us into cycles of idealization, frustration, withdrawal, and even rejection. It can feel easier to locate borderline patterns “out there,” in our clients or in the people who overwhelm us, rather than acknowledging how these same dynamics quietly live within us. But what if the most effective way to understand and transform our work with borderline dynamics is by turning inward?

Borderline Dynamics from the Inside-Out is a 2-day, experiential workshop designed for therapists who want to deepen their relational presence and expand their clinical effectiveness by exploring borderline dynamics through a personal and embodied lens. By depathologizing borderline dynamics, we open space to humanize both ourselves and our clients.

Rather than focusing solely on theory, this training invites participants to engage in meaningful self-inquiry and experiential practices that uncover how borderline patterns live within all of us—often subtly, unconsciously, and protectively. By turning toward our own lived experience, we can more compassionately understand and skillfully work with borderline dynamics in the therapeutic space.

Facilitated by Brad Kammer, LMFT, LPCC—internationally recognized educator, author, and trauma therapist—this workshop provides a rare opportunity for therapists to receive experiential guidance and mentorship in bridging deep personal insight with embodied, relational clinical work.

Whether you're navigating challenging client relationships or simply seeking to deepen your clinical work, this immersive program bridges personal insight with professional mastery — offering a more integrated and embodied approach to working with borderline dynamics.

At the Complex Trauma Training Center (CTTC), we are passionate about supporting therapists who work with individuals and communities impacted by complex trauma. Our mission is to cultivate a professional community grounded in training, consultation, and ongoing mentorship—where mental health professionals can grow not only as clinicians, but as human beings.

We focus on healing and integration across the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal dimensions of experience. Through our experiential programs we help therapists develop the internal capacity, relational presence, and spiritual grounding needed for transformative work.

Borderline from the Inside-Out reflects this mission by inviting therapists into a brave, compassionate exploration of narcissistic dynamics in themselves and their clients. Rather than pathologizing, we offer a developmental and relational lens that fosters curiosity, humility, and deepened clinical integrity—from the inside-out.
