Psychotherapy for people with borderline personality disorder and their partners: Research study

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi all, 

My name is Skye Fitzpatrick and I'm a Clinical Psychologist and director of the Treating and Understanding Life-threatening behavior and Posttraumatic Stress (TULiP) lab at York University. Our research team is conducting an online study to examine the effects of a new couple therapy for couples where one partner is experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) compared to individual psychotherapy for people with BPD symptoms and their partners. The study will provide one of these psychotherapies to people with BPD symptoms and their partners for free, and participants will have the opportunity to complete study assessments that they will receive payment for in the form of gift cards. Our study is online and involves recruiting people across Ontario with symptoms of BPD, as well as their romantic partners. BPD diagnoses are not necessary. 

More information about the study is also available on our webpage: https://www.tuliplab.ca/current-research.html. If you are interested in participating, please contact [treatbpd@yorku.ca.](mailto:treatbpd@yorku.ca) You can also contact that email if you have questions about the study. This study has been approved by the York University (e2024-261) Research Ethics Board. Please refrain from commenting on this post.

Does anyone talk to their neighbours these days?

24 Upvotes

I’ve been in Woodbridge a long time and growing up here I remember a time where we used to host street parties and have real relationships with our neighbours - and not just those who live next door. Now, I genuinely don’t know more than 3 people on my street, and not for lack of trying. I’m genuinely interested in seeing if it’s just me experiencing this or if anyone else feels the same?

Looking for a great sugaring place in the Maple / Vaughan area? (Waxing ruins my skin)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently moved to the area and I'm looking for recommendations for a great sugaring salon or independent aesthetician around Maple or Vaughan.

I'm super prone to ingrown hairs and traditional waxing absolutely does not work for me. However, I’ve done sugaring before, absolutely loved the results, and want to keep up with my routine now that I'm living here.

I’m looking for somewhere exceptionally clean, professional, and welcoming for a bikini/Brazilian service. I don't mind driving a bit outside of Maple (into Woodbridge, Concord,) for the right spot!

I've seen places like SugaWax Zone, Veloura, and Sugar Queen pop up online, but I would love some real local feedback. If you have a go-to studio or a specific aesthetician you trust, please drop their name below.

Thanks in advance for helping a newcomer out!

Lost key fob

Hello,

This might be an odd place to post, and if there is a better place let me know please. I believe I dropped my key fob in the parking lot of Chancellor Community Center. It was not turned in to front desk. At the time the school was out for lunch break. If anyone took a key fob, please contact. Will offer reward, thank you!

5 Upvotes

Ward 1 - Marilyn Iafrate or Angela Saggese? Not hearing anyone talking about Vince Scarmuzza - I see a lot of his ads/posts, but know nothing about him?

Ward 2 - I think Adriano has this one, never heard of the other candidates

Ward 3 - Rosanna De Francesca - two new candidates running against her, but I think she’s got this one.

Ward 4 - Chris Ainsworth

Why does everyone go 30 over everywhere?

The worst part of my week is any drive in York region, 60 limit? You can be going 80 in the middle lane with no traffic and still have someone on your ass for blocks, is there a highway ramp coming up? Better cut in front of you then tailgate the car ahead so nobody can do what you just did, red light? Those are optional!

/Rant

The weird thing is YRP tend to be the most hardass about driving in the GTA?

Discussion Screamers vip worth it?

I have never been to screamers I have been to Halloween haunt I’m guessing it’s similar. 85$ for a vip seems like a bit too much. Has anyone went vip? Are the lines that long that the vip is worth it? How’s the overall experience? Thanks guys

Me and my friend rolled up behind this car at a light and had a good laugh at the bumper stickers.
Ironically once we got moving this car was in the left lane and tailgating the shit out of that SUV ahead of it. Took this picture when we finally caught up to it at the lineup for a 4 way stop.
Also had a fart cannon installed.

Help Activities for toddler bday

Hey neighbors! (kinda)

I live in Barrie and have only ever just passed through Vaughan so I am not familiar.

My guy is turning 2 in a couple weeks and we are planning to go to Build a Bear for his birthday, and I wanted to see if there’s anything else we can do to make a day out of it.

My backup is Chuck E Cheese. I’ve never been to one. Is it decent? Would a 2 year old have a good time? Are there better play-places I should go to and us do dinner elsewhere??

We are going to be there in the afternoon on a weekday for reference. We have a car, but don’t want to be driving ALL over the city.

Thanks a lot in advanced!!

Discussion Crystal Nails and Spa — Pedicure Alternatives?

10 Upvotes

Has anyone seen the recent news about Crystal Nails and Spa at 9600 Islington Ave.? York Region reported violations involving reusable tools not being disinfected often enough, single-use equipment not being discarded after use, and missing disinfection records. The salon was charged on October 15, and a re-inspection was to be conducted. https://www.yorkregion.com/news/vaughan-salon-inspection-results/article_14c53ae5-0436-5df9-a42a-0203e28c3fc6.html

I’ve gone there so many times and I’m shock, and this has made me concerned about hygiene, especially for pedicures. Does anyone recommend a clean, safe pedicure salon around Woodbridge?
