People with BPD cannot love you. They lack a self. And without a self, they can't understand how they affect you... They can't love you in any consistent, congruent, age-appropriate manner.
Breaking up is never easy, but when your partner has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), the emotional toll can be overwhelming. In this episode, A.J. Mahari, a seasoned Counselor and Trauma Recovery Coach, unpacks the unique challenges faced by those ending relationships with individuals diagnosed with BPD. Drawing on over 30 years of experience, Mahari offers a compassionate yet clear-eyed look at why people with BPD struggle to love in a consistent, healthy way.
Have you ever wondered why it feels like your BPD partner can't truly see or love you? Mahari explains that this isn't about you—it's about their own internal battles. People with BPD often grapple with an unstable sense of self, making it difficult for them to form stable, loving relationships.
This episode sheds light on the painful reality that many codependent partners face: the person they thought loved them might never have been able to love them in the way they needed. Mahari doesn't just leave listeners with the hard truths; she provides actionable advice for healing. From understanding codependency to exploring inner child healing and recovering from narcissistic abuse, this episode is packed with practical tips for moving forward.
If you've ever felt lost or confused after a breakup with someone who has BPD, this episode offers both clarity and comfort. Whether you're in the throes of a breakup or looking to understand past relationships, Mahari's insights can help you navigate the complex emotional landscape of BPD relationships. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding and find the tools you need to heal.
