How to Explain BPD to Family & Friends
Listen now
Description
In this episode, I provide a quick rundown of what BPD is and some things that I think are important to talk about when friends and family are trying to understand what this diagnosis means. Of the most important aspects to this conversation, I think the main takeaways are to have more compassion and patience for those with BPD as it is a hard condition to live with and our triggers can exist in manifest in many different ways. There are a lot of negative stereotypes and ideas on the internet so I wanted to give a more clear understanding of what families, friends, and partners can do to support their loved ones who might be living with BPD.
