From Borderline to Beautiful: Hope and Help for BPD with Rose Skeeters, MA, LPC, PN2

Recovery from BPD is not a linear process. It is hard work and requires truth, patience, trust, self discipline, bravery, and perseverance. In this episode, I interview a past mindset coaching client, Rebecca. Rebecca has all of these qualities and then some. She fought hard to overcome her inability to trust herself and those around her. Rebecca's tenacity is nothing short of inspiring. If you are in need of hope, listen to Rebecca recount her journey to wellness. It is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness month! Remember that you are not your diagnosis and you can recover!

In this episode, I tackle a listener’s question about her partner with BPD. When he feels attacked, it can seem like he is gaslighting her, though she knows he doesn’t intend to do this. I explain what I believe happens in these scenarios and how both the partner and individual with BPD/CPTSD/EUPD can overcome this pattern. I also answer a question submitted by listener Ramona about identity development and dating someone who also has BPD.

Did you know that there are 256 possible combinations of criteria that may yield the same diagnosis of BPD?! This means that two people with BPD may have only 1 diagnostic criteria in common. Because BPD has so many differences in severity and presence, researchers began to create theories based on types and subtypes of BPD. Check out this episode to learn about the different types and subtypes and how to use the information to foster recovery.
