I think my initial suggestion was that I had Eight Weeks and then, during the process of that, she was like: right, okay, you definitely need more, so we'll offer you Weeks and again. So if I didn't have a like bpd diagnosis, I wouldn't be able to do any dbt based stuff.
Imagine navigating the maze of mental health services while dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Sara Amundson and Laurie Edmundson sit down with Jasmin, who shares her personal experiences accessing support in southern England. Jasmin's story is one of persistence, self-advocacy, and the relentless pursuit of the right care. She discusses the various levels of outpatient support she encountered, the crucial role of peer support groups, and the benefits of skills-based therapy.
Jasmin also opens up about living with 'quiet' BPD, a less visible form of the disorder that can often be overlooked by healthcare providers. She highlights the value of workbooks for learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and the concept of 'opposite action' to manage emotions effectively. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or supporting a loved one with BPD, Jasmin's insights provide a valuable guide to navigating the mental health system in England.
Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the importance of persistence and self-advocacy in mental health care.
