Today's episode is a follow up from next week talking about what emotional IMMATURITY looks like. It shows up in all of us from time to time so I think it's important to consider what we do with this and not just that it happens to be there. When there's an overwhelming sense of emotional immaturity it's definitely a sign to get some support, or to distance yourself from people who might be showing up this way.

Splitting is so highly demonized in BPD. So, like, what even is it??
Splitting is a defense mechanism in which a person has difficulty holding both positive and negative feelings about themselves, others, or situations at the same time. Instead, people or experiences may be viewed in extreme, “all-or-nothing” ways — for example, someone may be seen as completely caring and safe one moment, then completely hurtful or uncaring after a conflict or disappointment.
Splitting often happens during periods of emotional stress, fear of abandonment, rejection, shame, or interpersonal conflict. The shift in perception is usually tied to intense emotions rather than manipulation or intentional behavior. For the person experiencing it, the feelings and interpretations can feel very real and urgent in the moment.
In this episode Talon and I review splitting and talk about recent examples in our lives.

Recovering from invalidation is an interpersonal effectiveness skill in DBT.
In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), “recovering from invalidation” refers to recognizing when another person dismisses, minimizes, ignores, or misunderstands your emotions and then responding effectively instead of spiraling into shame, self-doubt, or emotional dysregulation. The skill involves grounding yourself in the understanding that your emotions and experiences can still be real and meaningful even if another person does not validate them, while also using interpersonal effectiveness skills to communicate needs, maintain self-respect, and decide how to respond in the relationship.
Here's the DBT pages on this skill: https://eymtherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/recovering-from-invalidation.pdf

Happy BPD month ya'll! Each week I'm reviewing a DBT skill as a bonus episode and this week it's DBT Wise Mind. In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), “wise mind” is the state where your emotional understanding and logical thinking work together.
DBT describes three “states of mind”:
- Emotion mind: driven mainly by feelings, urges, or moods
Example: “I’m furious, so I’m quitting immediately.” - Reasonable mind: driven mainly by logic, facts, and analysis
Example: “Statistically, staying is safer financially.” - Wise mind: the balanced middle ground that includes both emotion and reason
Example: “I’m genuinely unhappy here, but I don’t need to make a decision tonight. I can plan a thoughtful next step.”
Let's get into it!

Happy Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month! Having a Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Awareness Month matters because it directly addresses the biggest barriers people with Borderline Personality Disorder face: misunderstanding, stigma, and lack of access to effective care. This month I'll be having TWO episodes each week: one interview/regular episode and one DBT skill episode! Today we're following up with the One Mindfully and Non-judgment.

Having a Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Awareness Month matters because it directly addresses the biggest barriers people with Borderline Personality Disorder face: misunderstanding, stigma, and lack of access to effective care. This month I'll be having TWO episodes each week: one interview/regular episode and one DBT skill episode! Today we're starting with the ACCEPTS skill from distress tolerance.
DBT ACCEPTS SKILL INFO CAN BE FOUND HERE

So Talon didn't come home until 12:30 AM. Did he die? Did the shop get robbed? Is he cheating on me? One could assume all the things and I started to think OMG something really bad couple have happened. Turns out he was just hanging at the shop with his pals but how the F was I supposed to know that? DBT DEAR MAN helps me say we're not doing that again. Hang with your pals, just let me know. This skill, from the interpersonal effectiveness module of DBT, helps create a formula for effectively telling him what I need instead of the ghosting. It was super helpful!

This episode explores the social concept of the "gifted" child and the ways in which neurodivergence can present as giftedness, the social and class structures that influence giftedness, and ultimately the shame and emotion dysregulation that many adults who were raised as gifted children experience.
THE DEFINITION OF THE GIFTED CHILD:
A gifted child is a young person who demonstrates significantly advanced intellectual ability or exceptional talent compared to peers of the same age. This may include early mastery of language, complex problem-solving skills, strong memory, intense curiosity, or advanced creativity. Giftedness is not simply “being smart”; it reflects differences in how a child thinks, processes information, and experiences the world. Many gifted children show asynchronous development, meaning their intellectual abilities may be far ahead of their emotional or social development. While giftedness can be a strength, these children may also face unique challenges such as perfectionism, heightened sensitivity, social isolation, or pressure tied to achievement. Understanding giftedness involves recognizing both the child’s advanced abilities and their need for emotional support and developmentally appropriate care.

Regression is a psychological response in which a person temporarily returns to earlier patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving, often in reaction to stress, trauma, illness, or emotional overwhelm. So I read this article about regression and why I often regression to child-like behavior around my family. This might not resonate with you - all good. But if it does I hope you learn about about your behavior and practice NOT shaming yourself for it.

Validation is the act of recognizing, acknowledging, and accepting another person’s thoughts, feelings, or experiences as real and understandable—without judgment, dismissal, or the need to fix them. Why does it matter? When you have Borderline Personality Disorder you've likely experienced a profound amount of invalidation. In this episode we go into detail about why it matters to be validated by others and yourself.

What is community? A community is a group of people who are connected by shared characteristics—such as location, interests, values, identity, or experiences—and who interact with one another, often providing mutual support, belonging, and a sense of connection or responsibility to the group.
There's nothing more important, especially in the world right now, than having safe people who have your back and being safe people who have other people's backs. In this episode we talk what is community, how to build it, what gets in the way, and what community means to YOU!

What is eldest daughter syndrome? While it's not a clinical term it can be defined as an informal, non-clinical term used to describe a common pattern of emotional and behavioral experiences often reported by oldest daughters in families. It is not a medical or DSM diagnosis, but a social and psychological concept. It typically refers to the experience of taking on excessive responsibility, caregiving, or emotional labor at a young age, sometimes at the expense of one’s own needs. Kayleigh is here to talk about her experience having 6 siblings and often being the caretaker to the oldest three that she grew up with. Thank you Kayleigh for joining us on the pod!

December is a rest month where I'm posting greatest hits content from the last few years. Here's the first - enjoy!
Let's break down BPD anger because it's very real. BUT when you misunderstand it, it's very dangerous for all of us. In this episode I talk about a few anger stories, the reasons why we have to understand and destigmatize anger and we hear from listeners about their experience with anger, what causes it, and how it feels. They are SO beautiful and such articulate answers.

Today Talon and I discuss distorted thinking patterns that all humans experience - not just those of us with BPD. We might struggle with them more but this is an everybody experience and it's important to practice seeing them when they come up, fact-checking them, reframing them, and not seeing them as absolutes.

On today's episode Linda returns to talk about her experience unlearning religious beliefs that led her to fear having sex, left her self-harming, and made it difficult to come out as queer. She talks about how Jesus became almost her Favorite Person and someone she depended on to never leave her during her childhood loneliness. It's a really interesting conversation and I'm grateful for Linda's openness.

In today's episode I take an Instagram ad quiz on BPD - what type of BPD am I???? (Reminder, clinically this does not exist. There are not types of BPD in the DSM 5 TR, which is the diagnostic tool used for giving appropriate diagnoses. This episode is simply for silly, play, fun, whatever you want to call it. The questions are interesting and my answers are interesting but the results were surprising to me. Enjoy!

In this conversation, Estefana Johnson and I delve into the complexities of trauma and the innovative therapeutic approach known as Critical Memory Integration (CMI). We discuss the importance of understanding trauma not just as a singular event but as a series of experiences that shape an individual's response to adversity. We talk about the need for a personalized approach to therapy that respects the unique experiences of each individual, allowing for deeper healing and integration of past memories. The conversation also highlights the significance of creating a safe therapeutic space where we can explore feelings and experiences without judgment. Thank you so much to Estefana for sharing her expertise!

Hi ya'll! Over the next few days there will be mini episodes covering individual topics for the podcast. And then a final, mini episode as a bonus over on Patreon. Today we talk about how asking someone to go to therapy, or wishing that they will, without the right supports in place can be more harmful than helpful. And radical acceptance is the only way to cope with that, I believe, unfortunately.

What is masking? Masking is when someone hides or suppresses their true emotions, behaviors, or traits—usually to fit in socially, avoid judgment, or feel safer in a particular environment. It’s especially common among people with neurodivergent experiences (like autism, ADHD, or anxiety), but anyone can do it and those of us with BPD certainly do.
This episode was accidental and came organically through conversation so we just hit record. Please note that at the beginning we talk heavily about suicidal ideation. We're safe. We hope you are. If this is triggering please use your skills, resources (below), or refer to the BBB episode on safety planning. You're loved.

A BPD classic struggle is to love the potential you see in them or who you want them to be and forgetting to see who they are. I've done this with dozens of people: friends, family, partners, even co-workers. I struggle to meet people where they're at and instead dream about how I can make them fit into my world the way I want because maybe then I'll be worthy of love?
It never works. IT. NEVER. WORKS.
Leslie and I break down the struggle to be in the present moment when falling for people.

Hattie lives with Autism and BPD and has been married to her FP for over 20 years, has several queer children, and is an advocate for always growing, reading, learning, writing, and learning about who you are. She was raised in a strict religious environment that did not encourage her to unlearn the ways that religion could be hurtful instead of helpful. I've really admired her application of religion/spirituality as it pertains to loving all people, which has been frankly a trigger for me as a queer, mentally ill, atheist. Thank you, Hattie, for sharing your story. I am truly grateful.

This episode explores the harmful impact of stigma surrounding psychotropic medication, how it prevents people from seeking necessary care, and why shifting the conversation is essential for mental health advocacy. As a society we HAVE to promote a more compassionate, informed approach to medication as a tool for healing—not a sign of weakness.

Let's break down BPD anger because it's very real. BUT when you misunderstand it, it's very dangerous for all of us. In this episode I talk about a few anger stories, the reasons why we have to understand and destigmatize anger and we hear from listeners about their experience with anger, what causes it, and how it feels. They are SO beautiful and articulate answers. Enjoy!

Self-sabotage can be easily defined by it's ChatGPT definition: "Self-sabotage is when someone undermines their own success, well-being, or goals through behaviors or thought patterns that create obstacles or prevent progress. These actions often arise unconsciously, driven by fear, self-doubt, unresolved trauma, or conflicting desires."
But, it isn't as pretty as those words are all neatly packaged in two sentences. Self-sabotage can be ugly and brutal. Especially when you have BPD. Today Leslie is here for a guest co-host episode to talk all about it.
If you want to hear what Leslie has been up to since we saw her last head over to Patreon for a 15 minute extended episode of the pod.

Hey ya'll - welcome to a greatest hits episode of the pod. Remember, no new eps until the new year for a little rest. Unless of course you're on Patreon, then there's new content over there so head on over if you'd like.
This is one of the most popular episodes of 2022. It's an interesting discussion in response to a podcast I listened to from Dax Shepherd and Monica Padman about BPD. I wasn't pleased at the time.
This episode features Laurie Edmundson, previous co-host of the BBB pod. If you want to follow what she's up to she can be found at laurieedmundson.com
Enjoy and happy holidays!

What an interesting episode to record. Apparently, Nick Cannon has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He recently came out with his NPD diagnosis and I have a lot of thoughts. 1. This is SO important that he came out publicly. 2. I didn't love the video clip response to his coming out, but perhaps I'm a bit biased. Either way, this is important dialogue that we NEED celebrities, authors, influencers, and well known individuals to talk about.
When people come out with their disorders, those of us with highly stigmatized diagnoses become less hidden. One person at a time.
Here's the article: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/29/entertainment/nick-cannon-diagnosed-narcissistic-scli-intl/index.html

Claire has been on the podcast before in the past and fast forward a few years and she's married and in her final year of graduate school to become a clinical therapist. I first met Claire long before she was even engaged and I'm feeling some strange nostalgia as I write this.
HONESTLY WHERE THE F HAS TIME GONE?
Claire recently sent me a message about her struggle emotionally with a difficult situation at school and we decided it would be a cool opportunity to explore on the podcast her experience learning to provide therapy. I can't wait to see who she becomes as a therapist, who she helps, and the impact she will have on this field that so desperately needs more people like us in it. Thank you Claire for sharing your journey with me, again, on the podcast.

Today Kimmy and I speak about her journey in parenting and how her feelings have been very big throughout the process, but led her to sobriety. This was a really cathartic episode for us both, I think.

Listen, it doesn't really need to be said again, but the borderline stigma is REAL. Very real. And here's a great example about how people with Borderline Personality Disorder often don't get treated for other conditions because of the stigma.

OMG WE MADE A VIDEO PODCAST FINALLY - WATCH THIS EPISODE HERE!
Did you know there are six different types of boundaries? Yeah, I didn't either until I started practicing therapy. Which is wild because this stuff seems basic, right? WRONG. I couldn't list what the boundaries were, I just vaguely knew about boundaries and struggled with them. In this episode Talon and I talk about the six different types of boundaries and our examples with both good and bad boundaries.

This episode did not go where Brooke and I planned and at first I had like a week's worth of guilt and shame. Did I overstep? Did Brooke think I was dissing her path? Did I hurt her feelings? Will everyone who listens think I'm abusive?
ALL THE FEARS.
And then I listened back and realized that Brooke and I had a super rad conversation and it was uncomfortable for both of us at times to engage in dialogue about how our work and our degrees won't give us any authentic and sincere worth at the end of the day - it is fleeting at best because there will always be the next thing. Worth is internal and Brooke's future as a DBT Therapist and advocate will be bright and beautiful no matter what way she enters it. And I'm allowed to misstep with my boundaries sometimes because of my passion and ethics about my field. This episode series will be two parts and next week is even more beautiful. Thank you, Brooke!

Hi ya'll! Laurie and I recently made an announcement about her (really hard, as discussed in the episode) choice to leave the podcast to focus on The SuperFeelers Club and her future in advocacy. Please go look at the instagram post that we made about this as it has a more in-depth discussion, but our journey as partners in advocacy is coming to an end. This allows us to focus on work that is more authentic to each of us - her peer support and my podcasting.
Please join me in wishing Laurie the very best on her next steps and please keep up with what Laurie is doing on her Instagram or via her website www.laurieedmundson.com

I've been struggling with some compassion fatigue lately regarding hearing individuals say they want to be unmedicated and look, I get it. Medication is a very personal choice and we all have autonomy and dignity to choose. I want everyone to make the best choice for them. I know for me medication has made everything 10000X better - I also know I am very privileged to have a good team who can support me with medication management. This is an episode where I explore my feelings, sadness, and frustration with medication stigma, both internalized and externalized. -Sara

Carly (@jesuscoffeeandprozac) is a married mom of two who works as a substance use prevention counselor with middle school students. Though she has struggled with her mental health for almost 20 years, she was formally diagnosed with BPD in January 2024. She is now in a specialized treatment program that utilizes dynamic reconstructive psychotherapy (DDP) to treat people at high risk for suicide. In this episode, Carly talks about her understanding of DDP, how it differs from DBT, and how it’s working so far.
To view the resources we talked about regarding DDP and learn more about it click here.
To listen to the Kelly South episode of BBB that Carly referenced click here.
Just a quick note on triggers: in this episode we briefly talk about a specific method for suicide. We did so because it was relevant to the conversation and therapeutic technique. We tried to be brief and keep it non-specific. The timestamp is approximate 32-33 minutes if you would like to skip that section.

Today you meet Brittni who will speak with us about her beautiful and difficult experience navigating family adversity and trauma as well as seeking DBT and how difficult that is in the Midwest. She is the perfect example of radical acceptance - perfect meaning there is not such thing as perfect. Ending up at radical acceptance is in fact PERFECT. We are honored to chat with Brittni about this and plan to do so one more time next week!

Listen - in this episode I go deep and it is painful. This episode involves a lot of dysregulation with my partner that you will see me experience live but you also see us begin to repair. I talk about my fear I'm a bad therapist, my fear I'll never be successful, and how rapidly one fear turns into the belief that my entire life is over.
Buckle up, it's a wild ride.

This episode follows last week's episode and continues Danielle's story of being incarcerated and then moved to a substance use treatment facility (even though she doesn't use substances).
She shares about how kindness of others helped her through a difficult time and how the world needs so much more support for people who use substances, have comorbid mental health challenges, and have recently left the criminal justice system.

Danielle is a regular Super Feeler who suddenly disappeared for 9 months. We were worried about her safety, having no success at reaching out. Until 9 months later when Laurie got a DM on instagram saying "if you ever want to record an episode about what it's like to have BPD in jail let me know". And so this episode was obviously recorded asap.
In this episode Danielle bravely shares her story of what it was like to go through the criminal justice system with borderline personality disorder. She shares about the lack of medical autonomy and privacy she faced and how she started running mini DBT classes in jail to support others like her. (aka Super Feelers: Incarcerated Edition).
This episode has a number of triggers including: medical harm, systemic discrimination, overdose, and solitary confinement.
Also please excuse the issues with audio quality - Laurie was on vacation and turns out her internet was really bad...
*** quick fact checking note: around the 19 minute mark Danielle says she's talking about the 14th amendment but it's actually the 13th amendment. Sorry about that!

What a WEIRD recording. What you don't know is this wasn't the plan for our recording but because I felt invalidated during it (Sara) my avoidant attachment kicked in and I didn't stay to record for the intended topic. It actually worked out great because you get to hear just a tad about how we managed the conflict successfully. Enjoy!

Our mental healthcare needs to be personalized to us and our specific biology. Today, Sara and Dr. Evelyn Higgins talk about the work she's doing to make that happen. Wired For Addiction provides an individually tested biomarker 31-page report that hopes to negate the often ineffective and dangerous “try-it-out” phase of medications by isolating the individual’s specific genes and the associated interaction with the drugs and drug types listed in the report. In matters of health, life, and death, empirical evidence should not be the standard of care. These are their beliefs as a company. Sara and Evelyn talk what, why, and how on individual genetic mental healthcare.

So Thanksgiving was just a few days ago and wowie was it hard this year emotionally for me (Sara). I dealt with it well without significant emotional and relational damage or setbacks but it was a good reminder that our listeners and SuperFeelers community is likely struggling as well, even with the joy they may be experiencing. So I put a question out on Instagram asking what the hardest parts of the holidays are for ya'll and I got so many good responses. Today I read them, relate to them, and give feedback.

For almost 11 years, Laurie was taking Seroquel/Quetiapine. It got her though a lot - and was the first mental health medication she found really "worked" for her. After a lot of thought, side effects, and conversations with her doctor - Laurie decided to try and taper of of the medication slowly.
Our Patreon supporters will remember this time well as Laurie shared a series of bonus episodes throughout the taper and subsequent withdrawal. Without going into as much detail as the patreon diary style episodes, Laurie wanted to chat with someone who knew the science of medications better than she did.
In this episode, Carly (from our The Borderline Doctor) episode shares some insights with Laurie about how Seroquel works, why she was likely experiencing some withdrawal symptoms, and how we can better our sleep with or without sleep-aids.
Carly (@daturadxm) is a life coach and works in the alternative healthcare space. Into her work, she brings the medical education she received in school before she was dismissed from her program after taking a mental health leave. She is now fighting back against the stigma against borderline personality disorder in education which forced her out of medical school.
While we say it many times during the episode - CARLY IS NOT A DOCTOR and THIS EPISODE IS NOT MEDICAL ADVISE. This is simply a conversation between two people who have taken this medication, one who has a much better understanding of how it works from a scientific perspective than the other. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER WHEN CHANGING MEDICATIONS.

Just a quick note:
When Laurie refers to traditional medicine she means thinks like Indigenous, plant medicine and traditional Chinese medicine for example. Whereas when Carly discusses traditional medicine she means western medicine that we are all familiar with. Sorry for the confusion on that front!

This week we hear from Connor’s family (from our last episode). His dad (Steve), mom (Mary-Rose) and younger brother (Duncan) share their thoughts around Connor’s story, how it impacted them,
Connor’s dad Steve was also a teacher at Connor’s school and provide insights into how Connor’s early school experiences may have contributed to his mental health challenges later in life.
Connor’s family does an incredible job of explaining how they have learned that Connor didn’t need to be “fixed” and that they needed to do their own work to be the most supportive family they could while realizing that they are only able to change themselves - and not others.
In the episode a few resources are mentioned. They include:
- Sashbear Family Connections Program
- HOPE Program
- The Journey or the Heroic Parent by Brad M Reedy

Hey ya'll!
Today JJ Jinx talks with us about her experience and the experience of many other people she collected qualitative data from regarding what an FP (favorite person) is from a borderline perspective. We talk about how it helps us cope and how it may not help us cope. JJ offered tons of insight as a person with BPD who relates heavily to the FP symptom as well as offers beautiful direct quotes from people who have had FPs and people who have been FPs. Thank you JJ Jinx for sharing your experience on the pod!
General information on FPs:
https://www.charliehealth.com/post/what-it-means-to-have-a-bpd-favorite-person
2022 peer-reviewed, scientific data on FPs:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9806505/
I want to note that this research discusses how having a FP can be very destructive and this may be triggering to some of us with BPD. I also want to note that, even when it's hard, understanding our symptoms and their positive AND negative effects helps us grow and find recovery from our symptoms.

Hi ya'll! In today's episode you meet our friend, Kat, who talks about her experience recently having to leave a job that wasn't good for her mental health as well as friendships. She discusses with us her experience having several complex mental health disorders and the impact that has on autoimmune issues. This is all from her perspective living in Scotland, which is quite different from Sara & Laurie's and very exciting to talk about.

We're taking a much needed break off in August! In this episode we excitedly talk about life, the past year of podding, and excitement about the year to come.
This is also the wrap up episode of the BBB Bookclub Stop Walking on Eggshells edition which Sara wraps up perfectly by saying "They don’t teach you how to not walk on eggshells other than to never eat eggs again".
There's a lot of discussion about parental relationships and the emotion associated with the BBB Bookclub for both of us and our loved ones.
If you're able to support us on Patreon you will still get content all summer long! We would love to see you there

Hey ya'll! Here's another LGBTQ Pride X BPD episode for you. In Portland we're celebrating Pride in July this year and where Dallas lives they are celebrating it in September. So, why not have another bonus episode? You all know that Sara & Talon will talk queer theory forever (ADHD hyperinterest or nah?) and this episode is one for the books.
Dallas is queer, has BPD, has ADHD, and has existential OCD. She received her BPD diagnosis later in life and talks about the experience of being Gen X while integrating all of those identities. Thank you, Dallas, for joining us on the podcast!

Dianne is a 65 year old senior living in British Columbia Canada who lives with BPD traits. She discusses her experiences with ageism and patriotism while accessing mental health care and her journey of self-discovery as an older adult. She also discusses the complications with other health conditions and coming to the realization that you can't prioritize others forever without getting help for yourself.

Welcome to your newest BBB mini-series!! Every Wednesday you will get a bonus episode until we've read EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER of the book Stop Walking on Eggshells that was republished as a 2nd edition in 2010.
Here's the deal - we are reviewing this book from a critical lens, but we only have so much ability to be critical as we're reading it from the perspective of someone having BPD and the partner of someone with BPD. These are our opinions and we hope to teach others how stigmatizing language damages us and the people who love those of us with BPD. We also point out some of the benefits of this book. This mini-series is NOT a shit on this book, nor is it a recommendation of this book. It is simply a critical review of a book that most people who have a BPD family member, partner, loved one, or friend has been recommended.
This week Dad Dean joins us to review the tenth chapter of this book.
We are reviewing this book as consistent with Copyright Fair Use law:
1. We are not reading it in its entirety
2. We have purchased the book we are reading from
3. We are using it for educational purposes
4. We are using it for non-commercial purposes

One of the things I fundamentally believe about people with BPD is that we have the ability to create and imagine in ways that most people don't have. This makes us superrrrr creative where business is concerned - although being self-employed as a person with BPD and mental illness as a whole is much harder.
Today Sara talks with Angela Morris, a person who lives with a variety of mental health conditions, and has built her business as a digital marketing strategist, feminist copywriter, and social media coach around how to support people to build their business without burning out.
We talk about the impact of mental health on our careers and how to build businesses that work WITH us instead of against us.

This one wasn't great ya'll - I don't have much to say about it other than holy triggering (this is Sara speaking). Because of that this episode is entirely unedited - I didn't want to go back and re-listen. I do think it's an important listen, especially for people without BPD, but please note it was difficult and triggering for me.

Welcome to your newest BBB mini-series!! Every Wednesday you will get a bonus episode until we've read EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER of the book Stop Walking on Eggshells that was republished as a 2nd edition in 2010.
Leave us a voicemail about your thoughts at: boldbeautifulborderline.com
Here's the deal - we are reviewing this book from a critical lens, but we only have so much ability to be critical as we're reading it from the perspective of someone having BPD and the partner of someone with BPD. These are our opinions and we hope to teach others how stigmatizing language damages us and the people who love those of us with BPD. We also point out some of the benefits of this book. This mini-series is NOT a shit on this book, nor is it a recommendation of this book. It is simply a critical review of a book that most people who have a BPD family member, partner, loved one, or friend has been recommended.
We are reviewing this book as consistent with Copyright Fair Use law:
1. We are not reading it in its entirety
2. We have purchased the book we are reading from
3. We are using it for educational purposes
4. We are using it for non-commercial purposes
5. We are reviewing a previous edition of the book that does not harm the current edition of the book or the future market of the book
6. We are using this work for “transformative” uses. Transformative uses are those that add something new, with a further purpose or different character, and do not substitute for the original use of the work.
This week we are reviewing the first chapter of this book. Each week we will review one full chapter until the book is complete. Enjoy!

Emily, our brand new Super Feelers Club co-facilitator, lost her best friend last year and has been on a grief journey like nothing she has ever experienced before. Grief and loss is always hard, but the intensity of emotions and suicidality that come with BPD make for an even harder journey. Emily shares with us what losing the "Christina to her Meredith" has been like for her and how she has stayed alive despite not always wanting to.
Trigger warning: grief, death, suicidal thoughts

Welcome to your newest BBB mini-series!! Every Wednesday you will get a bonus episode until we've read EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER of the book Stop Walking on Eggshells that was republished as a 2nd edition in 2010.
Here's the deal - we are reviewing this book from a critical lens, but we only have so much ability to be critical as we're reading it from the perspective of someone having BPD and the partner of someone with BPD. These are our opinions and we hope to teach others how stigmatizing language damages us and the people who love those of us with BPD. We also point out some of the benefits of this book. This mini-series is NOT a shit on this book, nor is it a recommendation of this book. It is simply a critical review of a book that most people who have a BPD family member, partner, loved one, or friend has been recommended.
This week we are reviewing the introduction of the book. Each week we will review one full chapter until the book is complete. Enjoy!

On June 17th 2011, Sasha Courey lost her battle to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and died by suicide at the age of 20. Sasha was a scholarship athlete and a gifted student with a promising future. The pain associated with the BPD was too great and the system failed to support her needs. Sasha struggled to understand why the treatment that was “air to breathe” was so expensive and difficult to locate.
Sasha's family created the Sashbear Foundation in her legacy, and have been changing lives through advocacy and skills training ever since Sasha's tragic passing.
In this episode Sara and Laurie chat with Sasha's mom Lynn (Sashbear's Founder and President) about founding the Sashbear Foundation, how they support families, and her perspective of Sasha's story.
Particularly moving is Lynn's reflections on how she would have done things differently with the skills she has been able to learn in the last decade.

Candice Alaska (IG: @understandingbpd and @candicealaska) joins the podcast for a second week to discuss how oppression and capitalism affect our mental wellness. Candice and Laurie also discuss the impacts of ableism, racism, sexism and colonialism on mental health. This episode includes a short discussion about the upcoming new Medical Assistance in Dying laws in Canada.
Also a note directly from Candice for the listeners: I want folks to know that while we can and should use this diagnosis as a portal to investigating what needs to change in our society so that this type of suffering doesn't keep repeating, I don't mean that there's anything wrong with any individuals bearing this diagnosis, nor that all mental health differences and neurodivergences are always an indication that there's something 'wrong' with our society that needs to change. If it's possible to add that to the show notes, that would be great!

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard is one of the most listened to podcasts in the North America. A discussion took place recently on an episode with Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart on the show that was fraught with BPD stigma. Laurie and Sara discuss their feelings about the discussion and provide a response to Dax.

Sara administers herself a clinical assessment tool that helps support clinical treatment of BPD. She talks about how she would score BEFORE medication management and DBT and how she scores now!
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is an instrument measuring emotion regulation problems. The 36 items self-report scale asks respondents how they relate to their emotions. This tool can be especially useful in helping patients identify areas for growth in how they respond to their emotions, especially those with Borderline Personality Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder or Substance Use Disorder.
Information on the tool and the tool itself can be found here:

This is our FINAL episode of the November mini-series where all month we released bonus episodes to discuss Men's Mental Health for National Mental Health Awareness Month.
Today you meet Sara's childhood family friend, Corey, who is a father of two, a musician (a brief soundbite of his music is today's intro and closer!), and a person who has experienced and copes with his own traumas. Corey talks about the importance of not holding it in and how he is working to co-parent effectively.

Last year we recorded an episode based on an email that Sara received from a loved one of someone with BPD. Today we're giving some additional thoughts from Lucia, someone with BPD and body modifications, and Talon, who was a professional piercer for many years.
PREVIOUS EPISODE CONTEXT: In this episode of the podcast, Laurie and Sara explore the idea of body modifications and BPD after a DM that a parent of an adult with BPD sent Sara stating the following:
"Hi Sara! So cool to see how life is evolving for you! As a mom I am having some trouble with radically accepting my 24!yr. old kid’s fourth (not small) tattoo. I remind myself that it’s not my journey /nor my body/ and yet it's hard to shake the feeling that some of this is a form of distraction for dysregulated or at least high anxiety.. again not my pain either. As a mom I am pained by the feeling that there will be regret with healing and recovery. I know you have surface embellishments as well and can see how these don’t impede your happiness. I hope for this for my loved one."

Dr. Linda Uyeda shares how she is working to make the health care system a more caring and compassionate place. She has been doing amazing work around British Columbia to educate health care providers about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), attachment theory, and the importance of including people with lived experience! Her and Laurie have worked together for years to share both the provider and patient side of what accessing mental health care does and should look like.
This week's guest is Dr. Linda Uyeda who obtained her medical degree and completed her family practice residency training at the University of British Columbia. She works at a Psychiatric Hospital in British Columbia, Canada. Her personal journey into the science of true healing began after her medical studies were over. 18 years ago, with the birth of her first child, she became interested in human development. Like many new parents, she felt confused about advice she was receiving from family and friends and turned to the scientific community for answers. She expanded her medical education to explore neuroscience, parenting, trauma, and attachment and was fascinated by what she found. An unexpected incident at work in 2015 combined with a family illness over the next several years, drove home the fact that nurturing resilience and compassion are key to wellbeing. After incorporating this information into her own parenting approach and her medical practice with great success, she has begun educating others about what she has learned.

Hi everyone!
With everything that's been going on, I wanted to take a moment to create a feeling of safety with you. Guided meditation can be a very helpful tool for remaining calm and regulated when things around us feel out of control. This bonus is a body scan. For 10 minutes we will check in with our body, give it space to relax, and be nonjudgmental in how we carry our tension. Noticing the body's tension helps us determine how to teach it to relax and give it what it needs to feel better. Enjoy!
Let's lean in together. XO - Sara

The Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial hit us all wit the news that Amber Heard apparently has Borderline Personality Disorder. This disorder already has a lot of stigma and we all fear that this will make it worse.
Aaron and Laurie discuss the testimony about BPD and how the language used is further stigmatizing to our disorder.
This discussion is not meant to take sides, or discuss who did or didn't do what. It is meant to discuss how BPD was used and portrayed only.
Take good care of yourselves.

Hi friends!
First off, this is a tough episode. We talk about suicidal thinking as a ruminating thought and how it operates from the perspective of being tired and burnout. We want to be clear: we are NOT suicidal. We are simply getting very real about this disorder. This disorder sometimes sucks. The world sometimes sucks. We know there's good in it. We know this community is good and we are SO grateful for ya'll.
Please listen with caution and self-compassion. Please know that we see you in your struggle and we are grateful for you seeing us in ours.
Be well.

Pre-traumatic stress is a newer concept that is often referenced in relation to climate change but can clearly be applied to other social issues we are all living through.

In today's episode, Sara and Laurie answer a question from a Patreon subscriber:
"I am having an extremely hard time explaining to my family members how hard BPD is to live with on a daily basis. I would love an episode on how to explain how it feels on the inside to be us. They all think I’m using BPD as an excuse for my emotions, but my emotions are so elevated because I have BPD. I feel like my family does not want to understand me and it hurts so bad. "
This is such a COMMON feeling we hear from our friends with BPD so we decided to offer a bit of our insight about what it really feels like. Drug references, school report card season, all of the above... ENJOY!

In this episode of the podcast, Laurie and Sara explore the idea of body modifications and BPD after a DM that a parent of an adult with BPD sent Sara stating the following:
"Hi Sara! So cool to see how life is evolving for you! As a mom I am having some trouble with radically accepting my 24!yr. old kid’s fourth (not small) tattoo. I remind myself that it’s not my journey /nor my body/ and yet it's hard to shake the feeling that some of this is a form of distraction for dysregulated or at least high anxiety.. again not my pain either. As a mom I am pained by the feeling that there will be regret with healing and recovery. I know you have surface embellishments as well and can see how these don’t impede your happiness. I hope for this for my loved one."

Let's get spicy and talk about polyamory and ethical non-manogamy.
For many of us having BPD and being in love with one person is difficult enough - what happens when you love multiple people!
This episode discusses Leslie's experiences navigating polyamory while living with BPD.
Leslie is another millennial trying to make it in a world that wasn’t made for us. Equipped solely with her intuition and a BA in Psychology, she’s managed to cultivate a very small space online under the name @Lezpenn where she tries to pass on anything even remotely useful she can find.

Trigger warning: police, suicidality, inappropriate inpatient treatment
This episode is a continuation of the story from the previous episode where we explored one person with BPD’s experience from police intervention, hospitalization, and inappropriate “treatment” in care. Learnings from Linda’s story is that hospitalization is the great equalizer and that power dynamics are more powerful than sometimes we give them credit for. Linda shares her techniques for surviving the horrors she experienced in the system by humanizing the people around her and finding connection wherever she could.
This episode ends with a beautiful piece of art writing by Linda - a summary of her journey from police response, to inpatient care, to a BPD diagnosis, to a breakup - her Super Powers will conquer all.
This story will be triggering for many - please listen with caution and be sure to use your skills and reach out for support if you need it.

In this episode we talk about how sometimes it's SUPER hard to maintain healthy and effective boundaries when our BPD brains want us to hold people realllllllllllly close. It feels counterintuitive but having healthy boundaries and giving space is actually a sign of love and affection but it can take a long time to implement them effectively. We are still working through this ourselves.
Tune in to listen to our chat on boundaries and also how pumpkin throwing made its way into this episode!

Trigger warning: inpatient treatment, restraints, nursing experiences, etc.
Andrea Acosta joins the podcast to discuss her experiences as a psychiatric nurse who has worked with many patients with BPD. We discuss the stigma in the health system, the importance of supportive trauma informed and client centered care, and shifting perspectives from assuming manipulation to identifying unmet needs.
This episode will likely be triggering but we feel that it is important to hear both sides of the story of accessing health care. We hope Andrea’s story provides some comfort that there are some amazing nurses in the health system.

Today we're incredibly excited to welcome Payge Duerre on the podcast who is a nanny, recent receiver of a BPD diagnosis and a person living with a variety of health conditions that, while serious, are not holding her back from living a badass life. Payge uses an ostomy bag and has been incredibly honest about her experience with multiple surgeries and life with her illness. The intersection of physical and mental health is so interconnected and we discuss the trauma of having experienced severe, chronic pain her entire life and how that may be a potential cause of her BPD.

Warning: This episode is hard as is very likely to be triggering to people who have experiences with disordered eating. Please listen with self love and take good care of yourself.
We have debated not publishing this episode many times as it is less about recovery and more about currently living with mental illness and actively struggling. It was the hardest episode we have ever recorded. That said, in some ways we hope that this episode offers a glimpse into the reality of really tough conversations, boundary setting, and the deep shame and struggles that can come from mental illnesses like eating disorders.
In this episode you will hear a lot of dysregulation, resistance, and resentment. Please know that Laurie and Sara are good - this is the reality of being in close friendships with BPD. We still love each other very much and have discussed how difficult this was for both of us at great lengths since recording.

**Laurie has not found herself to have an addiction to drugs, but rather food and people. Instead, she is focusing on how to be a better friend to people who are struggling with substance addiction by changing her social habits that encourage drinking.

Sara and Laurie discuss their experiences coming out with their borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis to family, friends, fellow psychology students, and colleagues.
Sara talks about the process of coming out as queer and how it relates to experiences “coming out” with a mental illness like BPD.
Laurie shares how coming out has helped her and others around her to really understand why she is feeling and behaving the way she does which can really help with recovery and building a support system.
Long story short: “If you don’t want to deal with me because I’m me, then I don’t want to deal with you” - Laurie

Medication has a time and a place in mental health treatment and recovery but there is no way to numb all of these emotions. That is not the goal of medication.
There is no “anti-borderline pill” but medications can be really useful for treating symptoms associated with BPD like anxiety, depression, anger, racing thoughts, insomnia, etc. Combined with a healthy lifestyle, psychological treatment like counselling, and a lot of personal effort, medications can work wonders. At the end of the day the medication is really just taking the edge off so you CAN practice your skills .
You know your body better than your doctor, so stand up for yourself and make sure that you are continuing to find medications that actually work for you. Knowing what your goal is for the medication can really help you and your doctor find the right option for you.
At the end of the day, let yourself feel joy - if your dopamine and serotonin are not working for you we shouldn’t feel shame for trying to fix that with science.
There is no such thing as a happy pill - but there sure are helpful pills that support our journeys to recovery.
Also this was recorded before the new election - so we’re a bit off with our presidential comments

In the final symptom specific episode about borderline personality disorder (BPD), Laurie and Sara discuss unstable self image. This can look like seeing totally different things in the mirror every time you look, impostor syndrome, or not knowing who you want to be from day to day.
Laurie and Sara discuss their experiences with only feeling loveable because you are loved by someone else, wedding dress shopping, the power of lipstick and how no number in the world will make you happy.
While unstable self-image is often associated with eating disorders this episode only touches the surface of disordered eating as an entire episode will be dedicated to this topic in the future.

In this episode Laurie and Sara discuss their experiences with self harm and how they have overcome this behaviour with more positive coping mechanisms that keep their bodies safe while their minds are overwhelmed.
Suicide and suicidality are also discussed in relation to self harm and how they are not as connected as people think they are.
This episode may be triggering. Society needs to stop punishing those who self harm and pretending that it doesn’t exist.

Laurie and Sara discuss the borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptom of chronic feelings of emptiness. Neither of them experience this symptom as a significant piece of their lives but they theorize that perhaps some of their obsession with success and keeping busy is to avoid feeling empty.
The conversation goes from healthy grounding techniques like movement to discussing obsessive compulsive disorder and obsessive compulsive personality.

Guest to the podcast Slhalhyiót (Helena Paul) shares the experiences that led to her developing BPD (childhood trauma, sexual assault, colonization, loss of traditional language, and many other factors). As an Indigenous woman she knows all too well the impacts of colonization, assimilation and genocide and the intergenerational traumas that have led to many mental health challenges that many people develop just to survive.
Her healing journey is ongoing, especially as she was just diagnosed with BPD a few years ago. She has found that connection to her Indigenous culture, the land of her ancestors, and learning the traditional language of her people have been key to recovery and survival.
If you are looking for a better description of dissociation than Laurie and Sara can provide we recommend listening to this episode as it is a symptom that Helena experiences regularly.
Helena believes that being properly diagnosed with BPD is a “gift” and that she can now embrace the insanity and life her authentic life.

Laurie and Sara discuss their experiences in unstable relationships and how they have used dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills to try and have healthy relationships with open and effective communication.
The DBT skill DEARMAN is used in examples like: when mother in laws are triggering and when people say they are leaving their girlfriends for you but then don’t….

Between our black and white thinking, unstable self-image and relationships, and mood swings, fear of abandonment causes a lot of turmoil in our relationships. This can be friendships, romantic partners, and even pets! We feel love so deeply that the thought of being left causes serious distress. Laurie and Sara talk about their experiences with this fear and how it looks different in each of their relationships. Between Laurie’s recent engagement and Sara’s recent divorce our perspectives are completely different on love.

Dissociation (however you actually say it) is a coping mechanism that is often associated with past trauma experiences or intense emotional experiences. It feels different to everyone but is often described as “feeling outside myself” “feeling numb” “losing pieces of time” “fuzziness” or “running on autopilot”. While it’s normally associated with a way to deal with negative experiences Laurie shares that since treatment she seems to dissociate more when in intensely happy situations like getting engaged or seeing Eminem in concert.
Grounding techniques to "come back" from dissociation are also discussed.

Anger, Guilt, and Self-Hatred
People often associate BPD with anger and violence which is not helped by media representations and BPD being a classified as a “personality disorder”. The truth is, while we may get angrier than most, violence and BPD are not always interconnected. Laurie and Sara discuss their experiences with anger and learning how to minimize it as well as the guilt associated with anger towards others. Trigger warnings: domestic violence

One of the key characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD) are rapidly shifting mood swings. These last minutes to hours, rather than days or weeks as seen in other mental illnesses. Sara and Laurie share stories of what these rapid mood swings have been like for them and the people around them. Just like how rapid our moods may spiral this episode goes in many different directions, almost comically so. We almost named this episode “Ramblings to Two Lunatics” because of how all over the place this conversation went.

Impulsivity is possibly the most fun and most devastating symptom of borderline personality disorder.
Be it impulsive sex, substance use, speeding, shopping, binge eating, or basically anything that gives immediate gratification in maybe not the most healthy ways... we’ve probably been there and done that.
But impulsivity it’s not necessarily a symptom we’d want to live without either! Being impulsive also makes us more fun, passionate, exciting, and spontaneous.
It’s all about balance.
