You can't heal, recover, change that quickly. It takes quite a while. Breakups are breakups. Healthy people know that. Like I've had breakups in my life, even healthy breakups. I don't expect to get the person back. Why? You are somebody who doesn't know how to make an ending. And you need to make an ending for yourself.
Ever felt like you're drowning in the emotional chaos of a relationship with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In this episode, A.J. Mahari, a seasoned Counselor and Trauma Recovery Coach, dives deep into the heart-wrenching reality of these relationships. With over 30 years of experience, Mahari paints a vivid picture of the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies loving someone with untreated BPD.
Imagine trying to rescue someone thrashing in deep water – not only are they at risk, but you might get pulled under too. That's the metaphor Mahari uses to describe the perilous dynamics of these relationships. Mahari's empathetic yet straightforward approach helps listeners understand the intense emotional dysregulation and defense mechanisms like splitting that are common in BPD.
She highlights the dangerous pattern of playing the rescuer, where partners often find themselves in a relentless cycle of push-pull dynamics and betrayal bonds. It's a tough love message: trying to 'save' your BPD partner can lead to your own emotional drowning. But it's not all doom and gloom. Mahari offers a beacon of hope for those struggling to break free from these tumultuous relationships.
She stresses the importance of going 'no contact' to protect your mental health and begin the journey of self-healing. With practical advice rooted in her extensive experience, Mahari guides listeners towards reclaiming their lives and finding peace amidst the storm. If you're caught in the emotional whirlpool of a BPD relationship or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a candid, compassionate, and deeply insightful discussion that aims to empower listeners to prioritize their well-being and escape the cycle of emotional chaos.
