BPD Hoovers: Protecting Yourself from Manipulative Tactics

Bottom line is these bpd hoovers are always for about, timed by and have nothing to do with you.
Imagine getting a call or message from an ex with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) out of the blue. Sounds familiar? In this episode, counselor and trauma recovery coach A.J. Mahari breaks down the concept of BPD hoovers—those attempts by individuals with BPD to reconnect, often driven by their own needs rather than genuine concern for you. Mahari explains that these hoovers can be incredibly manipulative and damaging, especially if you're trying to move on from a BPD relationship.
She emphasizes that understanding the psychology behind these hoovers is crucial for your healing journey. You'll learn why these actions are more about the borderline's needs and less about you, and how they can often involve gaslighting and false promises. This episode offers practical advice on recognizing and avoiding these hoovers, highlighting the role of codependency and how it makes one more susceptible to such manipulations. Mahari provides concrete examples and strategies to help you protect your emotional well-being.
If you're grappling with the aftermath of a BPD relationship, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with insights on how to focus on your own healing and growth, rather than getting pulled back into a cycle of pain and manipulation. Therapy and self-care are also discussed as essential tools for recovery. So, if you're looking for ways to safeguard your mental health and move forward with confidence, tune in to this enlightening episode.
