Why BPD Happens | Brains, Trauma & the Biosocial Theory

Let’s go deeper: Why does Borderline Personality Disorder* develop? We explore what’s going on in the body and brain (think amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hormones, and nervous system stuff) and how environment and trauma interact with biology - the Biosocial Theory according to Marsh Linehan. This is the “nature and nurture” episode, where the science gets personal. Trigger Warning: Discusses BPD causes; practice self-care.🌱 Have questions, stories, or something you'd like us to cover?
