The Power Behind the Diagnosis: A Conversation With Dene of BPD Raw

Jennifer interviewed Dene, the founder of BPD Raw, a platform focused on lived experience, peer support, and reducing stigma around borderline personality disorder (BPD). Dene shared how his own diagnosis and experiences with discrimination led him to create a safe space for people to share their stories without facing stigma or judgment. He discussed misconceptions about BPD, emphasizing that it can be a superpower rather than a limitation, and addressed the challenges of building a supportive community. Jennifer and Dene also talked about the importance of understanding and empathy in mental health, and Dene encouraged listeners to see themselves as the authors of their own stories. Dene provided information on how to connect with his work through his website and podcast at bdpraw.com
