People with BPD are using you. And why is that the case? Well, because many times it won't feel like that. And then there might be times when it really absolutely feels like that. But you don't maybe want to know that. A lot of people are still denying that, right?
Ever felt like you were on an emotional rollercoaster in a relationship? A.J. Mahari dives deep into the challenging dynamics of relationships with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). With three decades of experience in trauma recovery and counseling, Mahari unpacks the often misunderstood behaviors of those with BPD. She reveals how these individuals might use others to regulate their emotions, meet their needs, and even seek identity due to their own lack of self-awareness.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone grappling with the emotional toll of such relationships. Mahari's compassionate yet straightforward approach helps listeners understand the emotional incapacity for healthy love, codependent tendencies, and manipulative patterns often present in BPD relationships. If you're seeking clarity and guidance on navigating these complex emotional landscapes, this episode is a must-listen.
