Super Feeler: A BPD Podcast
Rejecting the Concept of a Disordered Personality (feat. Caroline)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Caroline rejects the whole notion of anyone having a disordered personality which is exactly why I reached out to her to chat with me on the show.
Sure, there are lots of things we disagree on - but there's actually far more we do agree on despite me finding tons of value of having a BPD diagnosis.
Together we explore the complexities of labelling, Caroline's experience discovering she had autism all along, and the impact of significant trauma at the hands of psychology professionals.
We discuss tons of controversies including:
- Do personality disorders exist?
- Are we overdiagnosing people with things like autism, ADHD and BPD?
- Does the way DSM criteria are defined make sense?
- AND MORE!
If anything I hope this conversation inspires you to talk with someone who holds different opinions, because that's how we stop the strong divisions causing the world to crumble.
