In this episode, I decided to go back to the basics of what BPD is. I talk about the history of this mental illness, the 9 symptoms that are associated with getting a diagnosis, and some of the critiques or controversies around this often misunderstood disorder. I wanted to revisit the format of my first episode, The Basics, as I felt like my understanding of this mental illness has changed and shifted with the more research I have done and what I've learned from other therapists and people who live with BPD. As always, feel free to reach out to me on instagram @journey.bound and let me know what you think or just to say hello. I'm really happy about being back to making episodes and I am sending you so much love on your mental health journey 🖤🌼
