To help someone with BPD, you can't help someone with BPD. To imagine you can help someone with BPD in any meaningful way that's going to make your relationship better, you're going to get your needs met. I would say that first isn't really first. It's kind of like on your way out the door as you're ending this relationship, which people have a lot of difficulty doing, you need to take care of yourself first. That usually should be a deal breaker and a relationship ender.
Ever wondered why relationships with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel like an emotional rollercoaster? In this episode of 'Healing After BPD Breakups', A.J. Mahari, a Counselor and Trauma Recovery Coach with over three decades of experience, unpacks the intricate dynamics of these relationships. With a focus on nine specific red flags, Mahari explains why trying to meet the needs of someone with untreated or poorly managed BPD is often a futile endeavor.

Through her candid and empathetic approach, Mahari urges listeners to prioritize their own well-being, offering practical strategies for healing and self-care. Whether you're currently in a BPD relationship or recovering from one, this episode provides valuable insights and support to help you navigate these challenging dynamics.
