From Borderline to Beautiful: Hope and Help for BPD with Rose Skeeters, MA, LPC, PN2 From Chaos to Courage: The Hero Archetype for BPD Recovery
You’re not broken; you’re a story unfolding. This is just the beginning." Living with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel like your identity is a kaleidoscope—shifting, breaking, and hard to pin down. One day you’re strong, the next you’re lost. In this session, we dive into Carl Jung’s idea of archetypes—universal patterns in our minds—to help make sense of that chaos. We’ll explore how these “inner characters” shape who we are and offer a way to steady the storm of BPD identity struggles. Plus, you’ll walk away with one simple skill to start reclaiming your sense of self. This ep has raw insight that’ll leave you wanting more (hint: sessions have it).Share this with someone who knows the chaos too.
Recap: Explored the Hero archetype—your inner courage to face BPD’s chaos. It’s not about perfection but taking small, brave steps toward a steadier identity.
Skill: Hero’s Quest Journal—write the Dragon (challenge), Hero’s Move (action), and Treasure (possible gain) to turn struggles into growth.
