Am I Dating Someone with BPD? Insecure Attachment, Instability, and Empathy

 When you're caught in the whirlwind of a relationship with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder, emotional whiplash becomes your normal. This week, we break down what BPD actually looks like behind closed doors. We discuss the intersection of attachment styles, why you might feel like you're losing your sanity on unstable ground, and how to balance profound compassion for your partner's pain with strict, healthy boundaries for your own mental health.  Ad for Southeast Counseling in Parker, CO Ad for Reliatrax practice management software Support the showDisclaimer: Jeannine and Natalie are commentators on publicly sourced information.
