The Futility of Making Someone with BPD Happy: Insights from A.J. Mahari
“You can't make a person with bpd happy, and you might think that you do sometimes, but you don't know what's going on internally.”
Ever found yourself bending over backwards to make someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) happy? In this eye-opening episode of 'Surviving BPD Relationship Breakups', A.J. Mahari, a seasoned Counselor and Trauma Recovery Coach, dives into the complex dynamics of trying to create happiness for someone with BPD. She explores how codependency often leads people to believe they can control or fix their loved one's emotions, a pattern rooted deeply in childhood experiences.
Mahari stresses that it's not only unachievable but also emotionally draining to try and make a person with BPD happy. Instead, she advocates for focusing on personal healing and addressing codependent tendencies that stem from early family life. By examining these childhood wounds and understanding their impact, listeners can start the journey towards genuine emotional wellness. If you're struggling with the aftermath of a BPD relationship and looking for practical advice, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate guidance.
