このコンテンツについて
In this raw and powerful episode, we continue our conversation with Sarah—a fierce BPD warrior who describes emotional hijacking and high-functioning invisibility to the frustration of being mislabeled and misunderstood, this conversation is as honest as it is empowering. Our guest shares personal experiences with misdiagnosis, medication struggles, and the double-edged sword of caring deeply while being denied care in return.
We unpack the power of language, the exhaustion of daily emotional regulation, and why DBT has been a game changer. Whether you're living with BPD or loving someone who is, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope—with just enough humor to keep it real.
