Father-Daughter Duo: Breaking Down Borderline Stigma Together

I think that because of that, like you were saying, because of that, you guys, once you got past the person who took you to counseling for the wrong reason, you were very much helped by it.
What happens when a father and daughter sit down to talk about mental health? In this heartfelt episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', Laurie Edmundson invites her dad, Dean, to share their unique journey with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). From the guilt and challenges of parenting a child with mental illness to the second-hand stigma that often comes with it, Dean opens up about his experiences.
But that's not all – he also reveals how Laurie's path to self-discovery led him to confront his own 'mild borderline' tendencies. Dean's candidness about his feelings and struggles offers a refreshing take on the importance of open communication and vulnerability in breaking down mental health stigma. This episode is packed with valuable insights into emotional regulation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and radical acceptance.
It's not just a conversation; it's a testament to the power of understanding and support within families. Whether you're dealing with BPD yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about mental health, this episode promises to be both enlightening and inspiring. Laurie and Dean's honest dialogue provides hope and encouragement for anyone navigating the complexities of mental health. Tune in to hear their story and join the ongoing conversation about breaking the stigma surrounding BPD.
