Expecting someone with untreated BPD to change without help is futile.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In this episode, A.J. Mahari, a seasoned counsellor and trauma recovery coach, dives into the relentless 'Groundhog Day' repetition compulsion experienced by those with untreated BPD and their codependent partners. Mahari explains how people with BPD are trapped in unconscious cycles of emotional dysregulation, re-enacting past traumas without realising it.
She breaks down why these individuals can't seem to learn from their repeated behaviours and how this affects their relationships. Codependent partners, on the other hand, often find themselves clinging to a 'fantasy bond,' hoping for change that rarely comes without professional intervention. Mahari provides compassionate advice on recognising these patterns and the importance of seeking therapy for both parties.
She emphasises that expecting someone with untreated BPD to change without help is futile and highlights the necessity for codependent individuals to focus on their own healing journey. With real-life anecdotes and expert insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with the complexities of BPD relationships. So, if you're tired of feeling unseen and unheard, this episode offers a beacon of understanding and practical steps to break free from the cycle.
