The BPD Bravery Show

In episode 5 I reviewed the 9 criteria for BPD as per the DSM.

So is there 7 more? 

Well, maybe.

In the book "Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder", the authors bring up 7 more. 

On the podcast I  give you my opinion on each of the seven. 

I would love to hear what you think about it :)

Dear listeners, I decided to take a short break of publishing interviews and go over the 9 criteria for BPD. 

One needs 5 out of the 9 to receive a diagnosis. 

I hope this is informative and you enjoy

What happens when you are your patient's Favorite Person (FP)?

Frequently when it comes to an FP, we don't know where we end and they begin... it's like a continuum.  We also tend to sculp ourselves to be exactly who we think our FP needs us to be in order to make this work. BUT It just doesn't work and in we end up suffering tremendously. 

Listen to today's episode to hear more words of wisdom from Jennifer May, a NY state licensed clinical psychologist who has spent over 2 decades working with people struggling with borderline personality disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, complex/developmental trauma, serious and persistent mental illness, substance use disorders, and legal issues.

AND she leaves us with a tip on how to make the most out of therapy

Did you know that there are 4 subtypes of BPD?

I know, this complex illness gets even more complex. I love how well Avery explains the 4 subtypes of Borderline Personality Disorder, particularly the quiet one. Avery's artistic talents doesn't only pertain to content creation on social media but they are amazing at describing different aspects of BPD. From bottling up emotions, to experiencing life with and without an FP, they'll take you on a journey brimming with insight.

Do people with Borderline Personality Disorder hate themselves differently than others? Dr. Blaise Aguirre describes how it seems to differ. 

It's one thing if your enemy is telling you that you're bad, but if the people closest to you keep on repeating these messages over and over again, telling you that you are a bad kid, doing things wrong, etc. then what other conclusion can a temperamentally sensitive kid come up with?

We discuss everything (well almost everything ;)  ) from my background to the problems LGBTQ people face in extremely religious communities face, to su!c1de, self-harm and self-hatred in people with BPD and more.

Dr Blaise Aguirre is a beacon of hope for the BPD Community and I'm so grateful for all that he's doing.

Our very first show is with Dr. Skye Fitzpatrick an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at

York University and director of the Treating and Understanding Life-threatening

behaviours and Posttraumatic stress (TULiP) lab. She focuses on identifying ways to

optimize, expedite, and broaden access to BPD and PTSD treatments on their own

and as they co-occur. In the interest of optimizing and expediting BPD and PTSD

treatments, Dr. Fitzpatrick has become particularly focused on harnessing the power

of relationships through the development and study of conjoint or dyadic

interventions. In the interest of broadening access to BPD and PTSD interventions,

she also develops and tests online, remote-delivered, and brief interventions.

As Dr. Skye mentioned they are currently recruiting participants for their Feeling Connected Study. Check out their research at  https://tuliplab.ca/feeling-connected.html . If you are interested to contact [email protected] for inquiries.

Hi and welcome to the BPD Bravery Show.

 I’m your host Fay Green and I too have borderline personality disorder.

On this podcast We will be discussing tips, strategies, and helpful tools along with struggles, triumphs and success stories related to BPD.

You can expect to listen to interviews with top mental health professionals in this field.

We will also feature people who have or have had BPD and how they overcame their daily struggles.

Each episode will end with a practical tip that can be implemented right away.

I started this community because I felt so alone in this world after receiving my diagnosis and I also had no idea where to turn to for help.

I hope that by joining the BPD Bravery community you too get to feel less alone in this struggle and gain practical methods on how to overcome your daily challenges.

For now, relax and enjoy this podcast. It would mean the world to me if you like, share and subscribe to this show. If you feel extra generous then leave us a helpful review, I promise you that it’ll make me do a happy dance.

With love,

Fay Green
