Kelsey talks emotionally neglectful parents; BPD; DBT; HEAVY emotions; HSP; dissociation; and coping mechanisms!

Kelsey grew up feeling like her parents hated her and she's had troubled relationships ever since. She was eventually diagnosed with BPD, which we talk about at length, but what I find truly interesting is what some psychologists call Childhood Emotional Neglect: "Why do I feel so fucked up but can't point to any specific incident in my childhood???  My parents kept me well fed and dressed and I was physically taken care of...  WHAT's WRONG WITH ME???"  If you've ever felt like you or your emotions are "TOO MUCH", this one's for you ;)  

We also discuss:
DBT; dissociating; using drugs & alcohol to soothe; regulating HEAVY emotions; journaling; HSP; "irrational" fears (eg. "the boogieman) and LOTS more.
