In this episode, I sit down with the renowned Dr. Daniel Fox, an influential psychologist and expert in personality dynamics with nearly 150,000 YouTube subscribers and over two decades of experience. Dr. Fox, the multi-award-winning author of The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook: An Integrative Program to Understand and Manage Your BPD, brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique approach to understanding BPD traits and recovery.

Together, we delve into topics that shed light on the complexities of BPD, including the nine core components often associated with the diagnosis. Dr. Fox introduces his framework of "core content" and "surface content" to help listeners understand the different layers of personality, and he offers practical tips for friends and partners on how to support loved ones navigating these experiences.

Some of the topics Dr. Fox and I explore:

• The nine core traits associated with BPD/EUPD
• Understanding and working through splitting episodes
• Navigating chronic feelings of emptiness and toxic shame
• The role of relationships in recovery and tips for healthy connection
• The challenges of identity and reconnecting with your authentic self
• Overcoming the stigma surrounding BPD and cluster B personality traits
• Age regression and how to manage it

Whether you're on a personal journey with these traits or supporting someone who is, Dr. Fox’s insights offer powerful tools and hope for healing. Tune in for an in-depth conversation that explores the path to self-acceptance, growth, and authentic connection.
