Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex diagnosis. There seems to be too much emphasis on emotion regulation in episodes and not enough talk about regulating all emotions and looking at the emotions of someone in recovery as a revved up engine that becomes more intense with every rev. Tune in for a personal perspective on how to channel that intensity and how to begin identifying your personality traits so you can embrace them! This is part 2 of last week's episode. I answer some questions that came up for clients and listeners over the week. I also talk about intentions and actions and how they should align. A bonus question about creating depth and bringing more to the table in a relationship is here as well.

Recovery from BPD is not a linear process. It is hard work and requires truth, patience, trust, self discipline, bravery, and perseverance. In this episode, I interview a past mindset coaching client, Rebecca. Rebecca has all of these qualities and then some. She fought hard to overcome her inability to trust herself and those around her. Rebecca's tenacity is nothing short of inspiring. If you are in need of hope, listen to Rebecca recount her journey to wellness. It is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness month! Remember that you are not your diagnosis and you can recover!

From Borderline to Beautiful Podcast tackles tough topics and provides information and insight into borderline personality disorder. My goal is to provide a show that offers hope and help to you or your loved ones with BPD and to answer big questions that others in the field are too scared to answer.  

The stigma around BPD is unjustified because there is a good prognosis. Let's break the stigma and learn ways to heal together. Rose Skeeters, a licensed therapist, nutrition and mindset coach, will share her story and strategies to overcome her own battle with BPD and Bulimia. 

You are not alone and there IS hope for a better life. It may not be an easy path, but it is a path out of the darkness, into a good life.
