Have you ever looked back on a conversation you had with someone, realized you overshared WAYYY too much, and then that embarrassment sinks in? Same.

While it’s not a symptom of BPD per se, oversharing is an incredibly common experience for people with BPD. Why do we do this? And how do we stop? You’re about to find out in this boundary crash course.

In this episode, I'll answer these questions:

• In what ways can people with BPD struggle with having poor boundaries?
• What does it mean to have personal boundaries, anyway?
• What are spongy boundaries, or rigid boundaries?
• WTF even is oversharing? How do I know if I'm doing this?
• How does oversharing damage relationships?
• What's the difference between venting, oversharing, and dumping?
• How can someone with BPD develop healthy boundaries and maintain them in their relationships?
• How can we balance between being honest about their feelings while respecting boundaries?
