This is a must for anyone with borderline personality disorder (BPD), traits of BPD, or someone like that in your life!
Actually, anyone with emotions is going to benefit listening to this because the stuff AJ (BPD) and Cris (non-BPD) tackle, in their dialogues loving and intelligent dialogues, is the very essence of being human!

Apple Podcasts5rosalleaUnited States5 years ago - Poorly Made by Uninformed, Unqualified Commentators
This podcast should not have been made. The moderators do not know how to carry a conversation or speak for audio presentation without being awkward, nervous, or unclear.

They conduct interviews very poorly, and their guests know as little about the subject matter as the host... more

AJ and Chris give a look into the lives of introverts and people with mental illness. They are great to listen to and very informative. I find it easy to relate to their topics and get a feeling comfort knowing I am not alone on my mental health journey. Thank you for all you both do!
