Understanding Quiet Borderline Behaviours: Inner Persecution & Codependent Reactions

Episode Overview

  • Quiet Borderlines often withdraw or ghost due to internal turmoil.
  • Their actions are more about their own pain than punishing you.
  • Codependents may unintentionally create conflict by seeking unmet needs.
  • Understanding these dynamics can help you navigate your relationship better.
  • Reflecting on your own role can lead to healthier interactions.
Quiet Borderlines aren't punishing you; they're often drowning in their own internal chaos.
Ever wondered why your relationship with a quiet borderline feels like an emotional rollercoaster? In this episode, A.J. Mahari, a seasoned counsellor and trauma recovery coach, dives deep into the enigmatic behaviours of those with Quiet Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and how their actions can bewilder their partners, especially those with codependency. Mahari explains that Quiet Borderlines, often part of the discouraged subtype of BPD, tend to withdraw and exhibit a fawn/freeze response when triggered.
This means they might ghost you or become unresponsive, leaving you in a state of confusion and frustration. But is it really them creating the conflict, or could it be a reaction to your own unmet needs and expectations as a codependent? Mahari suggests that understanding the internal turmoil of a Quiet Borderline can help you see that their withdrawal is more about their own pain and less about punishing you.
Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Mahari sheds light on the complex dynamics at play, urging you to reflect on your own role in these interactions. If you're struggling to make sense of your relationship with a Quiet Borderline, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice to help you navigate these challenging waters. Tune in for a compassionate and eye-opening discussion that could change the way you view your relationship dynamics.
