back from the borderline

I don’t want to talk to your personality; I want to talk to your soul. Imagine if your most painful and debilitating mental health symptoms and self-sabotaging behaviors aren’t evidence of "disorder" or "dysfunction", but adaptive strategies that once kept you safe. My goal is to help you shift from asking ‘What’s wrong with me?’ to ‘What happened to me?’The word ‘borderline’ in this podcast has nothing to do with psychiatric labels. It has everything to do with coming back from the inner

I’ve received countless emails, direct messages, and voicemails about borderline personality disorder in teens. This topic is a total hot potato (in other words, it makes many mental health professionals uncomfortable AF.) Some of the most frequently asked (and Googled) questions as it relates to teenagers and BPD are:■ How to HELP a teenager who identifies with the symptoms of borderline personality disorder■ How to PARENT a teenager who identifies with the symptoms of borderline personality

Let’s face it: we have to work to live. The unfortunate reality is that those who identify with symptoms of various "disorder" or "dysfunction" labels while healing from trauma often find it hard to “hold down a job.” These individuals are often highly sensitive, reactive, creative, intuitive, and intense. The workplace can be highly triggering for anyone grappling with trauma recovery. It’s all too common to feel that we have to take/do jobs that we hate and end up sacrificing our creative

A voicemail from Thiago in Brazil and a direct message from Noura in Egypt reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place and why so many of us resonate with the concept of feeling starved at a spiritual level – constantly grappling with feelings of brokenness and perpetual emptiness. There’s only one way out of the pits of hell caused by this thinking: zooming the f*ck out. If you want to learn more about zooming out and considering higher/broader perspectives, I’ve included a few places

The issue with many current disorder label treatments is that they are focused squarely on the individual – these therapies (like DBT or CBT) primarily focus on coping skills – which are helpful, no doubt – but these same therapeutic modalities fail to get “under the hood.”Skills alone can’t help us get to the *true* heart of the matter: the systemic components of what we view as a society as “disordered behavior.”Many individuals who identify with the symptoms of various mental health disorder

Many who identify with symptoms of borderline personality disorder find themselves wanting to “get better.” This often leads to therapy (which is great), which leads to learning skills in therapeutic modalities like CBT or DBT (also great.) However, what is also common is that these very same people find that the “skills” aren’t enough. Maybe you’ve done all your research. You’ve been to therapy. You’ve learned the skills.
