It's hard to recognize your role when you believe it, and that's the really interesting part about being borderline.
What happens when two voices from the BPD community take on a book that many find controversial? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson dive into Chapter 2 Part 1 of 'Stop Walking on Eggshells'. This isn't just a casual read-through; it's a critical review from the perspective of those living with Borderline Personality Disorder and their partners.

They discuss how such language can harm those with BPD and their loved ones, shedding light on the real impact of words.

Whether you're familiar with the book or just curious about BPD, this episode promises to offer valuable insights and provoke thoughtful discussion.
