It's really important to go through your own process of therapy so that you can acquire skills and understanding and more acceptance of who you are to use those things.
Ever wondered about the complexities of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), especially the quieter forms? In this episode of 'Eggshell Transformations', Imi Lo sits down with Kayla from On the Line to shed light on this often misunderstood condition. Kayla, a YouTuber and psychotherapist-in-training, shares her unique journey from receiving a BPD diagnosis to aspiring to help others as a therapist. Her candidness and clarity make this conversation a must-listen for anyone affected by BPD or those curious about it.
Together, they dive into topics rarely discussed openly, such as the subtypes of BPD, the concept of 'Quiet BPD', and whether BPD is a diagnosis or an identity. They also tackle the 'BPD empathy paradox'—debunking the myth that people with BPD lack empathy and exploring whether they actually have heightened empathy. Kayla's insights and personal experiences bring a fresh perspective to these questions, making the episode both informative and deeply moving.
Additionally, the discussion highlights the importance of interpersonal skills, emotion regulation, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in managing BPD. Imi and Kayla emphasize compassion and empathy, not just in therapy but in everyday interactions. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt stories, perfect for anyone looking to understand BPD better or support someone who has it.
