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

Do people who identify with symptoms of what is known as borderline personality disorder have a unique ability to connect to the transcendent?

Comedian and actor Pete Davidson has always been open about his struggles with his emotions and the serious trauma he’s endured throughout his life – he has said he was “in and out” of inpatient treatment facilities since the age of nine.
