Understanding BPD Projection: The Eternal Victim Lens

Episode Overview

  • Individuals with BPD often project unresolved childhood traumas onto others.
  • Many with BPD experienced severe childhood abuse and neglect.
  • Codependents tend to try and 'fix' or 'rescue' their BPD partners.
  • Setting boundaries is crucial for self-care and recovery.
  • Understanding BPD behaviour can help in healing from toxic relationships.
There is no excuse for BPD abuse because a high percentage of them were SA'd in childhood.
If you've ever been involved with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), you know how challenging and emotionally draining it can be. In this episode of the 'Surviving BPD Relationship Breakup' podcast, A.J. Mahari, a seasoned counsellor and trauma recovery coach, dives into the complexities of BPD projection through an eternal victim lens.
Mahari explores how individuals with BPD often project their unresolved childhood traumas onto their partners, friends, and exes, leading to tumultuous relationships and emotional turmoil for everyone involved. The episode tackles the harsh reality that many with BPD were subjected to severe childhood abuse and neglect, which contributes to their current behaviour but does not excuse it.
Mahari also addresses the role of codependents in these relationships, highlighting their tendency to try and 'fix' or 'rescue' their BPD partners, often to their own detriment. With a mix of professional insight and personal experience, Mahari offers a compassionate yet firm perspective on the importance of self-care and setting boundaries.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling to understand the dynamics of a relationship with someone who has BPD and seeking guidance on how to heal and move forward. So, are you ready to reclaim your peace and start your healing journey?
