  • Mahari delivers the cold, hard truth

    Mahari tells it like it is, and it is much appreciated. Her knowledge is not flattering to pwbpd, or to us partners—and it shouldn’t be. Leaving the confusing and discombobulating relationships with those afflicted is hard work and we need the honest and hard pill to swallow wake up call. This podcast really helps break down how we end up in codependency, as rescuers, fixers, caretakers and the nuances of how the BPD sees us and relationships.

  • Exactly what happened to me

    Every episode is exactly what happened to me. It will always blow my mind how similar these situations are. Completely discarded out of the blue and she moved on immediately with someone else and begged for me back months later and I was her favorite person again. I recommend anyone struggling with a discard to check out Reddit sub BPD loved ones. This podcast and that subreddit helped me survive. Starting from scratch again. Thank you to this pod!

  • Extraordinarily helpful insights

    Having recently been discarded by my BPD suffering girlfriend of 5 years and discovering my own codependency (which allowed me to suffer, tolerate and excuse horrible abuses), this podcast helps me to see both myself and her extreme behavioural shifts in a light that was needed while I suffered. Now ended, I struggle with grief and while that’s a process I need to go through alone, the wisdom here is like a good friend- supportive and (hopefully) ultimately, liberating. Thank you.

  • Exactly what I have been searching for

    This has resonated with me so personally and deeply, it has really been hard finding content that I align with and that but almost exactly on what I have gone through and need help in overcoming. Anyone that has dealt with a narcissist or someone with BPD and struggled with detaching themselves all throughout the push and pull and abuse. THIS is it

    I really tried to like this podcast but her voice is just annoying, repetitive and I don’t care for it.
