back from the borderline

underrated recovery hacks to change the beliefs that are holding you back


Listen Later

Most of us are well aware of the patterns we want to break—the cycles that keep us from experiencing true peace and intimacy. We can see the behaviors that sabotage our connections, but knowing isn’t the same as changing. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned on my own journey is that transforming our beliefs is essential to transforming our actions. In this episode, we’ll explore some of the deeply held beliefs that might be holding you back, and I’ll share why a temporary break from social media might become a lasting one for me. We’ll dive into how major platforms are shifting from “social media” to “recommendation media” and the effect this can have on our emotional well-being. I’ll also address a recent review that questioned my stance on the BPD label and why I continue to challenge the potential harms of labels that can reinforce limiting beliefs about ourselves.


Topics we’ll explore include:


  • The impact of social media on emotional stability, particularly for those with high emotional sensitivity
  • Whether mental health labels like “borderline personality disorder” are helpful or limiting
  • How cognitive biases and “splitting” can affect our healing process
  • The importance of adopting a “growth mindset” to improve communication and build healthier relationships
  • Understanding and managing “obsessive” tendencies, such as constantly checking a partner’s social media
  • Practical tips for navigating romantic relationships when intense emotions are part of the mix


This episode is a deep dive into how shifting your beliefs can open the door to new patterns, healthier relationships, and a more grounded approach to self-discovery and growth.
