Neuroscientific Vulnerability to Negative Emotions and Invalidating Environments

Dr. K believes that in order to develop BPD, what we need is a neuroscientific vulnerability and an invalidating environment. So you can have a brain that's sensitive to negative emotion but if you grow up in the right environment, it'll get enough emotional reassurance. But when those negative emotions arise, like they get amplified and they don't get toned down by your environment. This is why there's a correlation between trauma and BPD.
