The BPD Bunch

What do you do when “this hurt me” gets heard as “you’re a horrible person”?In this mini episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Justin, and Kaelah talk about criticism, splitting, defensiveness, and how to have difficult conversations when someone with BPD is highly sensitive to perceived rejection or shame.They get into what has actually helped in their own relationships, including balancing compassion with accountability, avoiding assumptions about someone’s intentions, knowing when to pause a conversation, and accepting an uncomfortable reality: there may not be a perfect way to say something that guarantees the other person won’t become upset or dysregulated.Topics include:* BPD and criticism* BPD splitting* Sensitivity to rejection and shame* Defensiveness in relationships* Communicating with someone with BPD* Walking on eggshells* Emotional dysregulation during conflict* BPD relationships and accountabilityIf criticism has ever sounded completely different inside your head than the words someone actually said, this conversation may feel very familiar.We’re taking a three-week break from our regular episodes to answer some of your questions! This season, we’re exploring BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), and we’ll be back with our next full-length episode on September 16 with an episode all about impulsivity.___🌟 Love what we do?

Have you ever known that isolating was making you feel worse and still felt like being around people was almost unbearable?In this episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Raf, Mo, Céline and Madhurima talk about what has actually helped them manage depression and depressive spirals associated with BPD, including the parts that sound simple on paper and can feel incredibly difficult when you’re in them.They get especially honest about opposite action: leaving the house when you want to hide, reaching out when shame tells you you’re a burden, taking care of your body when everything feels pointless, and learning when “rest” has quietly turned into avoidance. They also discuss self-esteem, hopelessness, sleep, substance use, emotional avoidance, asking for help, and why small changes can matter more than one dramatic breakthrough.If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I’m supposed to do. I just cannot make myself do it right now,” this conversation is for you._____This season, we’re discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). To meet criteria for BPD in this model, a person must have difficulties in at least two areas of personality functioning (Criterion A): identity, self direction, empathy, or intimacy, along with four or more pathological personality traits (Criterion B): emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, and depressivity (which are sub-traits of negative affectivity), impulsivity and risk taking (sub-traits of disinhibition), and hostility (a sub-trait of antagonism).In the first two episodes of the season, Dr. Carla Sharp, Dr. Frank Yeomans, and Dr. Alex Stein explain what the AMPD is, how it changes from the current categorical model, and how the BPD diagnosis is changing.
