Episode 9 - "Borderline Personality and Narcissistic Personality in a Relationship: Part 1" - In part one, we discuss what Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) look and feel like to the uninitiated. 

We explore what’s likely to happen when a BPD meets a NPD and they fall in love.  We point out some of the recognizable developmental similarities between these two diagnoses, and talk about what can happen when these two choose to have children together.  

*It's important to note that every person is different. The information in this podcast is not meant to be used as a clinical diagnosis.

**Another important thing to point out is that we believe strongly that people are not their diagnoses.  However, in conversation about these personality disorders professionals often resort to shorthand, referring to someone with BPD as "a borderline" or someone with NPD as “a narcissist”.  We are no exception. However, this is a habit you will hear us actively trying to break in this public forum.
