Series 5: Borderline in Wonderland - Emotions like storms. Love like fire. A heart that’s too big for this tiny teacup world.  

E109: The Invitation That Never Came

Have you ever sat by the window of your own life, waiting for an invitation that never arrived? In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we explore the ache of being left out, forgotten, or deliberately uninvited—whether it was a birthday party, a family gathering, or just the simple sense of being wanted.

Through the lens of Borderline in Wonderland, we unravel how exclusion doesn’t always look dramatic—sometimes it’s silent. Sometimes it’s casual. And sometimes, it cuts the deepest. We dive into:

• The emotional fallout of being overlooked or deliberately left out
• Rejection sensitivity and its roots in childhood neglect or invalidation
• How neurodivergence and BPD can make small exclusions feel seismic
• The stories we tell ourselves when no one saves us a seat

And most importantly, we ask:

What does healing look like when you were never invited to begin with?

Because sometimes, the loudest heartbreak is the party you were never meant to attend.

E98: Not Just Sensitive – Being Dismissed Hurts Deeper

In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we explore the pain of being written off as “too sensitive” when you’re actually feeling everything all at once.

For those of us with Borderline Personality Disorder, dismissal doesn’t just sting—it cuts.

Whether it’s a sigh, a shrug, or a “you’re overreacting,” these moments can trigger a tidal wave of shame, self-doubt, and invisible wounds.

Through Wonderland’s lens, we’ll navigate the emotional fallout of not being taken seriously and the exhausting cycle of trying to prove that our feelings are real.

This episode is a reminder: just because others don’t see the storm doesn’t mean it’s not thundering inside.

E97: The Talking Flowers Mock Me – Social Anxiety and BPD

In today’s episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we tiptoe through the flowerbeds—only to find that the blooms are whispering behind our backs.

Social anxiety with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel like that: every conversation overanalyzed, every silence a judgment, every glance a secret critique.

With BPD, the fear of rejection and the ache for connection crash together, making even small talk feel like emotional quicksand.

Join me as we wander through Wonderland’s garden of overthinking, second-guessing, and misunderstood interactions.

If you’ve ever walked away from a social moment feeling like the flowers were laughing at you, you’re not alone.

E96: Judgment Day in Wonderland – Hyper-Awareness and Guilt

In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we explore the heavy fog of guilt and the sharp edges of hyper-awareness that often trail those living with Borderline Personality Disorder.

What happens when every glance, tone, and silence feels like a verdict? When your inner White Rabbit constantly shouts, “You’ve done something wrong!”—even when you haven’t?

Join me as we wander through Wonderland’s courtroom, where invisible judges loom and guilt clings like shadows.

Let’s unpack the exhausting mental replay, the spiral of self-blame, and the constant scanning for danger, all through a Wonderland lens.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re on trial in your own story, this one’s for you.

E95: Wonderland Math — How BPD Warps Cause and Effect

In this episode, we tumble into the distorted logic of Wonderland, where emotions rewrite reality and cause and effect don’t always add up.

“Wonderland Math” unpacks how borderline personality disorder can twist the way we interpret situations—turning neutral events into personal attacks, or believing our feelings must be proof of fact.

One small moment can spiral into a full-blown crisis, and understanding what really happened becomes almost impossible through the fog of emotional intensity.

We’ll explore how this impacts relationships, self-trust, and healing. Because in Wonderland, 1 + 1 doesn’t always equal 2—sometimes it equals heartbreak.

E94: The Queen or the Caterpillar — Idolizing and Demonizing Others

In this episode, we step into Wonderland’s hall of shifting mirrors, where people can look like royalty one moment—and like enemies the next.

“The Queen or the Caterpillar” explores the intense emotional flips of idolization and demonization that often come with borderline personality disorder.

Whether it’s placing someone on a pedestal or suddenly seeing them as a threat, these extremes aren’t about manipulation—they’re about survival.

We’ll dive into why this happens, how it impacts relationships, and what it feels like to want to love someone while struggling to trust who they really are. Because in Wonderland, people don’t always stay who they seemed to be—and neither do we.

E93: Logic vs. Fear — Knowing You’re Loved But Not Feeling

It In this episode, we enter the Wonderland tug-of-war between what we know and what we feel.

“Logic vs. Fear” unpacks the painful disconnection that happens when someone with borderline personality disorder logically understands they are loved—but still feels rejected, unsafe, or abandoned.

It’s the maddening gap between reality and perception, where reassurance fades fast and doubt creeps in quickly.

We’ll explore how past wounds, nervous system responses, and emotional dysregulation make it hard to trust even the truest connections. Because in Wonderland, love can be right in front of you—and still feel a million miles away.

A delayed text, a changed plan, a shift in tone—these seemingly minor things can spark overwhelming reactions that feel impossible to control.

We’ll talk about emotional intensity, shame spirals, and the deep fear beneath the outbursts: that everything might really be falling apart.

Because when your nervous system lives in survival mode, a chipped teacup doesn’t feel small—it feels like the whole table is crashing down.

One moment you’re the beloved guest at the tea party; the next, you’re sure everyone wants you gone.

E90: Through the Door Halfway — Struggling to Trust Love Love in Wonderland isn’t always a fairytale—it’s a door half-open, half-closed, always uncertain.

What does it mean to crave closeness but fear being consumed by it?

How do you let someone in when part of you is already preparing for the pain of goodbye?

“Through the Door Halfway” explores the push-and-pull of intimacy, the suspicion that safety might be an illusion, and the deep yearning for connection that often collides with emotional survival instincts.

Come along as we navigate the threshold between fear and love, and try—just for a moment—to keep the door open.
