Scott (he/him) has spent the majority of his life swimming against the current that BPD creates. Over the years, he’s overcome many challenges and focused on collapsing the wave function: that is, breaking old cycles and forming a new path for himself in recovery. 

In the context of quantum mechanics, collapsing the wave function brings about a specific outcome from a range of possible outcomes. In this case, choosing a specific path from many possible paths towards healing and growth. 

In this episode, Scott and I got to chat about:

• The importance of having a support system to encourage you and lift you up
• The fact that even temporary relationships can still be very healing and fulfilling
• Navigating, unpacking, and processing all kinds of grief we’ve packed away
• Checking in with your friends and seeking out support when you need it
• Ways to cope with comorbid depressive episodes and challenge the action urges and thoughts that keep you isolated
• Challenging your inner critic and replacing it with self acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion
• How mindfulness and self awareness can aid in recognizing your triggers
• Showing up for ourselves and exploring self care that works for us as individuals
• The idea that recovery is a non-linear process of breaking cycles and patterns we can find ourselves trapped in
