Textbook Borderline: Laurie and Sara's Personal Take on BPD

This book doesn't accurately reflect them. It does not accurately reflect the relationships that we have and have had.
Ever wondered how closely textbook definitions of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) match real-life experiences? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson dive into this very question. They start by exploring what the textbooks say about BPD, then compare it to their own lived experiences. Laurie and Sara don’t shy away from discussing the importance of gender-inclusive language, the stigma surrounding BPD, and the unique challenges of parenting and maintaining healthy relationships with the disorder.
The conversation is raw and unfiltered, offering a rare glimpse into the realities of living with BPD. Laurie and Sara also reflect on a children's book about BPD, sharing their thoughts and insights. This episode isn’t just about debunking myths; it’s about offering hope and understanding to anyone touched by BPD. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that aims to break down stereotypes and build a supportive community.
