  • Wish I’d Found This Podcast Years Ago

    My ex-wife almost certainly has undiagnosed BPD. I figured this out after leaving her. Which is tragic for both of us cause we love(d) each other very very much. BPD can be very destructive for both partners and it’s no-one’s fault. If you love someone with BPD and you can get them to be tested for it, they’ll need your support. It’ll be hard work, and you’ll need to look after yourself, but they ARE worth it as they have a lot to give.

  • The first time I felt truly seen and understood

    I’ve seen many different therapists throughout my adult life, but nothing really clicked because I never felt truly understood. The intrusive thoughts I shared were often pushed aside, belittled, or met with comments like “just think positive.” I felt alien to other people and couldn’t understand why.

    The summer before I found Rose, I was constantly getting into trouble at work, feeling unjustifiably attacked, struggling in most of my relationships, and severely depressed. After independently s... more

  • Resourceful PD, Concerning Coaching Experience

    I worked with Rose for approximately three years and found her through her podcast. Our sessions were recorded and transcribed.

    Initially, the support felt helpful and validating. However, over time, the coaching shifted in a direction that became concerning. I was encouraged to “submit” to relationship dynamics framed as Christian teachings of honoring a husband, despite the fact that we were not married.

    During this period, I was in a relationship that involved controlling behaviors, includi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mentalization-Based Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder with Robert Drozek
Q: What exactly is MBT and how does it differ from DBT?
MBT emphasizes a collaborative, less teacher-driven stance and the use of a written MBT formulation to map where mentalizing breaks down, supplemented by specific, tailored strategies for each problem area; it also stresses the not-knowing stance and encourages patients to reflect rather than simply learn skills.
Tuesday Truth: The Impact of BPD on Parenting Part III
Q: How do you know if your parenting methods are too extreme based on the child's reaction?
You have to think if your rule is appropriate for their age group. If it's reasonable, then the child's overreaction might indicate they are pushing boundaries.
BPD Awareness Month Recovery Stories: Chat with Zoe from Straight up Zoe

BPD Awareness Month Recovery Stories: Chat with Zoe from Straight up Zoe

BPD Awareness Month Recovery Stories: Chat with Zoe from Straight up Zoe
Q: What advice would you give to someone newly diagnosed with BPD who feels the way that you feel they have a lot of that self-hatred?
Just know that you're not alone and that this feeling will pass. Talk to someone, it will help, and think about all the times you have made it through.
