Find a Histrionic personality disorder Therapist in Alberta

Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) involves persistent patterns of seeking attention, emotional intensity, and a strong need for approval or reassurance. While these traits can sometimes appear confident or outgoing, they often stem from deeper feelings of insecurity or fear of being unseen. Therapy helps uncover why these patterns formed and teaches new ways to meet emotional needs through stability, confidence, and authentic connection.

Our model focuses on understanding and retraining the emotional patterns behind attention-seeking or approval-based behaviours. Using Pattern Theory™, we identify early experiences that may have created beliefs such as “I’m only loved if I perform” or “I’m not important unless I’m noticed.” Through Reconditioning, we help rewire these beliefs, teaching the brain to feel secure and valued without external validation — all within a structured, supportive framework.

Yes — those labels often overlook the real issue: emotional regulation. Many people with HPD feel emotions more intensely than others and struggle to manage that intensity. Our structured approach teaches you how to stay grounded, communicate needs clearly, and respond rather than react. The goal isn’t to suppress emotion but to use it effectively and confidently.

While some therapies focus primarily on behaviour management, we combine education, structure, and emotional reconditioning. You’ll learn exactly why emotional highs and lows occur and how to regulate them long-term. By addressing the root beliefs beneath the patterns, we help clients experience more consistent calm, confidence, and genuine connection — not just symptom management.
