After receiving her own diagnosis, she set out to educate others about this often misunderstood mental disorderThere are many psychologists and experts who talk about BPD, but I was drawn to Kayla and wanted to talk to her because she is so open and clear in how she presents the information, and because she has had a unique journey of having BPD and is now on her way to becoming a therapist!!!!We talked about many topics that are not often discussed publicly, such as- What is quiet BPD? What are the subtypes of BPD?- Is Borderline Personlaity Disorder a diagnosis or an identity?- Can you become a therapist if you have had BPD?- BPD empathy paradox - I think it's a misconception that people with BPD lack empathy, why is that?

Our last conversation with Dr. Jon Frederickson, A Deep Dive Into The Psychology of BPD, Splitting, Projection, Anxiety and Therapy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgzjoVtDtsI am sooo glad I invited him back! Today we will be talking about Dr. Frederickson's book Co-Creating Safety: Healing the Fragile Patient When we have been treated poorly in our past lives, it's only natural to assume - consciously or unconsciously - that it will happen again.   It used to be a protective strategy, but today it keeps us from relationships. In this conversation, we will talk from a therapist's perspective about how to work with clients with deep relational anxiety Other topics we touched on are: Why we project our feelings and even our "will" onto others, how anxiety is stored in our bodies, our fear of dependency, why we blame ourselves, attachment styles, and much more!The book "Co-Creating Safety: Healing the Fragile Patient": https://www.amazon.com/Co-Creating-Safety-Healing-Fragile-Patient/dp/0988378809*If this topic speaks to you, you may like the booksEmotional Sensitivity and Intensity: https://amzn.to/3Hn7lCFor,The Gift of Intensity: https://amzn.to/3BFokP0 For more, Please visit: https://www.eggshelltherapy.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/eggshelltransformationsNewsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers  Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.
