56. Understanding Your Borderline Diagnosis After Narcissistic Parenting

In this important episode of Mayhem, we dive into a difficult topic that daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers may encounter: Borderline Personality Disorder.   There is a complex interplay between the trauma of narcissistic parenting and its impact on your mental health. One daughter shares her BPD diagnosis. Listen in as I walk through the challenges, misconceptions, and stigma around this diagnosis and what it means for sufferers. It’s my hope that you’ll also hear the hope for recovery because it is possible. If you have gotten value from this show and have found that it has aided your own narcissistic abuse recovery, I invite you to become a sponsor of the show through your purchase of ⁠Simple Scripts for Saying Hard Things⁠, a resource I created to give you the words for the hard conversations in life, love, and work.
