Your aim in this one is to love the person but not the borderline behavior. That way, you become an understanding and a caring ally against a common foe.
Imagine constantly walking on eggshells around someone you care about. This is often the reality for those close to someone with borderline personality disorder (BPD). In this episode, Dr. Christian Heim, an award-winning clinical psychiatrist, offers seven actionable techniques to help you support a loved one battling BPD. Dr. Heim’s approach is all about being a 'PAL who is ABLE'—someone who can provide empathy and set boundaries while encouraging responsibility.
He delves into the nuances of separating the person from their illness, emphasizing the importance of being a compassionate ally rather than an enabler. From fostering open communication to setting healthy limits, these techniques are designed to help you navigate the complexities of BPD relationships. Whether you're a family member or a friend, Dr. Heim’s insights offer a roadmap for providing meaningful support.
Tune in for a blend of science, compassion, and practical advice that can make a real difference in your loved one’s life.
