  • Newly diagnosed with BPD

    This show is amazing as someone who was just recently diagnosed with BPD with NPD traits. The more I listen to the show the more I’m like I do all these things.

    And the more I realize huh there can be hope .

  • My new BFFS

    I love this podcast. I relate to different people who share and I feel like I’m not crazy/alone in this challenging internal landmine. Learning the landscape of my emotions is intimidating and often exhausting and I feel I have a fun group of equally quirky folks to bond with on this journey. Also recognizing the unspoken work we go through to function in a neurotypical world! Thank you for the stories and advise! I also love how hyperbolic everyone is. It’s so entertaining and relatable.

  • Please! Increase the gain!!!! Can’t hear!

    Great show with such valuable information that is, if you can hear them! It’s incredibly frustrating wanting to listen in and all I hear is muffled voices and no, other podcasts sound just fine. Hope you keep up the good work and make yourselves louder!

  • Best Podcast if you have BPD

    I have been in functional recovery for BPD for three years now, and this has been one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to since my diagnosis. I cannot recommend this enough! It feels so nice to not feel alone when BPD can be so stigmatizing. It’s been so helpful for me on my hard days and when I’m struggling. They have great advice and I love how real and honest they are all. It’s really helped me not feel so bad and ashamed of myself. Please keep making episodes! You guys are awesome!... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BPD Made Me Build My Entire Life Around Not Being Abandoned (ft. Dan Stone)
Q: What would be your nugget of wisdom for someone newly diagnosed or struggling with BPD?
Engage in therapy and stay committed to recovery, since skills gradually become second nature and help regulate emotions, with an understanding that you are not defined by the diagnosis but by the ongoing work and what you can build for yourself and others.
What BPD Actually Felt Like in My Brain (Meet Justin)
Q: How did you initially respond to the BPD diagnosis after having several prior labels?
I felt a sense of relief at first because the diagnosis aligned with what I'd been experiencing, and it helped me understand and validate my experiences, though I also acknowledged the ongoing challenge of managing it and using therapy as a tool.
I Could Handle BPD Alone… Until Relationships (ft. Megan A Tully)
Q: Can you summarize how the Dialogue Life Skills framework works for someone new to it?
A host asks for a definition; Megan and guests describe sentence stems, timing, mirroring, validating, and emotional regulation as core elements that reduce conflict and increase safety in communication.
I Could Handle BPD Alone… Until Relationships (ft. Megan A Tully)
Q: Megan, what moment or person sparked your commitment to heal your mind and pursue recovery?
Megan explains that the realization of lying to herself about everything and the subsequent commitment to truth-telling was the catalyst, which then led to embracing dialogue-based skills and rebuilding relationships.
Breaking the Silence: My Journey Through Abuse and BPD - w/ Nasiba Lee | The BPD Bunch BRUNCH
