Can we find a balance when it comes to attachment where we don’t completely lose ourselves in a relationship? Lena Nicodemus, LMFT (she/they), is dedicated to showing others with BPD that we can. I still have a lot to learn about breaking out of relationship patterns and I felt a lot better after talking to Lena.

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

• Breaking patterns of unhealthy forms of attachment 
• What is it like to have a partner with secure attachment?
• Forming your own sense of personal identity outside of relationships
• When and how do we tell our partner about our BPD?
• How can we learn to develop trust in relationships?
• How we can co-regulate with a partner during times of conflict
• Tips for dealing with conflict with partners
• Having patience with ourselves during conflict and during healing
