Quiet BPD 10 Reasons It Destroys RelationshipsQuiet BPD 10 reasons it destroys relationships. Often people in a relationship with someone with Quiet BPD, also known as the Discouraged BPD Subtype, it can take quite a while to understand that your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife has Quiet BPD. People with Quiet BPD internalize most, if not all of their splitting, fear of abandonment, push/pull, relational issues etc and often partners think that the "problem" is they just drink too much, or they just are hot and cold. Identifying that a person with Quiet BPD in your life actually has Borderline Personality can be difficult and the off/on ghosting cycles of many Quiet Borderlines can be so confusing. Quiet BPD is not someone being "less Borderline" or having BPD only mildly.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new Course Modules coming soonhttps://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com - This podcast and my Youtube FeedThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

On today's episode Linda returns to talk about her experience unlearning religious beliefs that led her to fear having sex, left her self-harming, and made it difficult to come out as queer. She talks about how Jesus became almost her Favorite Person and someone she depended on to never leave her during her childhood loneliness.

Send Me a Message! In this episode, I share what came of my latest psychiatry appointment  and honestly, it left me feeling pretty frustrated. Again.I talk about what it's like trying to navigate the mental health system while dealing with anxiety and depression at the same time. When you're already running on empty, self-advocacy feels almost impossible. The system wants us to be proactive, but how do you do that when you can barely get out of bed?I open up about:Why the mental health system feels reactive instead of preventativeHow depression and anxiety pull me in opposite directions — one shutting down the future, the other making it terrifyingMy mirtazapine being pushed up to 30mg, moving me into the therapeutic rangeJuggling around eight medications, even though my original hope was to taper down and start againThe double-edged sword of “insight” - it looks good on paper, but in reality, it often just feeds my depressionThe short, surface-level appointments in public psychiatry that leave little space for the real stuffAnd at the heart of it all - the fact that I've lost my ability to laugh and smile, and how deeply that hurtsIt's an honest, heavy one - but I think it's important. Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, Dr. Guilherme Sant'Anna, Professor of Pediatrics at McGill University, joins Ben and Daphna to discuss his team's work on implementing an early bubble CPAP protocol in the delivery room. Although CPAP has long been considered standard practice for preterm infants, Dr. Sant'Anna explains why intubation rates remain high in the most immature babies and how his group sought to change this pattern.The conversation reviews the background of the protocol, which began at McGill in 2014, and the cultural shift required to adopt bubble CPAP as the default approach. Dr. Sant'Anna describes the importance of multidisciplinary training, technical details such as proper prong sizing, fixation, humidification, and suctioning, as well as the challenges of sustaining practice change over a decade.The results of this initiative are striking: lower rates of delivery room intubation, reduced severe BPD, and improvements in outcomes particularly for infants born before 28 weeks. Dr. Sant'Anna also reflects on lessons learned, the global implications of bubble CPAP in resource-limited settings, and the importance of sharing knowledge to improve care everywhere.This episode highlights how attention to detail, persistence, and team culture can transform neonatal respiratory care.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode, four of the top experts in researching and treating nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) talk about the research behind NSSI Disorder, the evolution of how they now think about NSSI within the context of the DSM, and why they now advocate for an NSSI specifier rather than an NSSI Disorder in the DSM. They also delineate their proposed criteria for self-harm as a specifier and both the positive and negative consequences of doing so.Below are papers referenced in this episode:Lengel, G. J., Muehlenkamp, J. J., Zetterqvist, M., Ammerman, B. A., Brausch, A. M., & Washburn, J. J. (2025). Non-suicidal self-injury: proposal to shift designation from disorder to a clinical specifier. The Lancet Psychiatry. Online advanced publication.Shaffer, D., & Jacobson, C. (2009). Proposal to the DSM-V childhood disorder and mood disorder work groups to include non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a DSM-V disorder. American Psychiatric Association, 1-21.Muehlenkamp, J. J. (2005). Self-injurious behavior as a separate clinical syndrome. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 75(2), 324–333.Brausch, A. (2019). Diagnostic classification of nonsuicidal self-injury. In J. J. Washburn (Ed.), Nonsuicidal self-injury: Advances in research and practice (pp. 71-87). Routledge.NONSUICIDAL SELF-INJURY SPECIFIER (PROPOSED CRITERIA):A. The specifier should be used when the nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior is characterized by the following:The individual intentionally engages in NSSI behavior to inflict bodily damage or painThe individual's NSSI behavior is recent, such that it occurred at least once during the past monthThe individual's NSSI behavior is repetitive, such that it occurred on about 5 or more days in an individual's lifetimeNote: culturally specific NSSI behavior (e.g., piercings and tattoos) and harm that is habitual (e.g., scab picking, nail biting, and hair pulling) should not be considered to be NSSI unless the behavior is explicitly for the purposes of causing damage or pain to one's body. The NSSI specifier can still be applied if the behavior occurs under the influence of substances, as long as the behavior meets the required features.Coding note: use code Z91.52 for individuals with a previous history of NSSI when all criteria except for recency are met (A2).Want to have a bigger role on the podcast?:Should you or someone you know be interviewed on the podcast?

BPD Love is a Reverse FairyTaleWhat starts like a pseudo BPD relationships fairytale in reverse ends in emotional devastation—and you're left wondering what happened. In this episode, I explore why relationships with someone with untreated Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and their supposed"Love" feel and are experienced like a reverse fairytale: magical in the beginning, somewhere along the way, sooner or later, traumatic in the end or the many on-going unsuccessful ends in the trauma bond.You'll learn why the intense beginning isn't real intimacy, isn't real "love" and how idealization flips into devaluation, and why the cycle never leads to a “happily ever after.” This episode is a compassionate wake-up call for those still hoping to get back to “chapter one.” You get what you think is the "happy-ever-after" in the beginning and that starts to unravel into the exact opposite.If you've been stuck in a looping pseudo love story that keeps breaking your heart, it's time to understand the pattern—and reclaim your own narrative by breaking free of the quest to get back to the magical fairytale reverse beginning of idealization and intermittent reinforcement of a toxic love passed off as a fantasy that you don't want to admit now.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new Course Modules coming soonhttps://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com - This podcast and my Youtube FeedThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

Send Me a Message! What happens when the things we love most become casualties of our mental health? Today, I'm facing that question head-on as social anxiety keeps me from the final Newcastle Knights home game of the season.For me, the Knights aren't just a hobby, they're part of my identity! With my Pride of the Hunter banner and strong, powerful voice in the stands, I've become a bit of a fixture at McDonald Jones Stadium. Yet instead of joining 30,000 fans today, I'm at home recording this episode.This tug-of-war happens a lot, between wanting to go and feeling capable of going and not having the capacity. This internal conflict captures the cruel nature of social anxiety and autism-related sensory challenges. Even when we and I desperately want and need something to cheer about, sometimes the mental barriers win. And my social battery just doesn't stretch enough.But there's still meaning in sharing the struggle. Living with mental illness often means redefining expectations. It's not always about being perfect in my record of appearances at games, but in trying my best and balancing self-care with pushing my limits.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

Even though the Knights went down to the Brisbane Broncos, pushing past my mental health barriers felt like the real victory. And it was! Sometimes building a life worth living means leaning into discomfort and fronting up anyway, especially for the things that make us feel alive!

BPD Frustration IntoleranceBPD Frustration Intolerance explains one of the most confusing, crazy-making, and painful dynamics loved ones face in relationships with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder. In this episode, I unpack why ordinary limits, boundaries, or small disappointments can trigger emotionally explosive reactions, chaos, and betrayal cycles. No matter how any times you try to calm a person with BPD down, jump to their demands, apologize for what they are doing to you, try to help them emotionally regulate, you cannot stop these betrayal cycles.In the betrayal cycles and through all the demands and the Borderline (protective) entitlement as they shame you and blame you and "hold you responsible" in their projective identification they have no real-time emotional awareness of YOU, of what YOU are feeling, of what YOU are going through. They don't care after each and every one of these betrayal cycles. YOU won't be seen or heard or empathized with, understood, or apologized to either.In this podcast episode you will learn and I hope gain clarity about:What frustration intolerance really means in the context of BPDHow trauma and emotional dysregulation fuel these reactionsWhy the cycle creates a false promise of peace that never lastsThe toll it takes on partners, family members, and friendsWhy this makes BPD relationships unsustainablehttps://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new Course Modules coming soonhttps://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com - This podcast and my Youtube FeedThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

Send Me a Message! What happens when the mental health system fails those that need it most? In this raw, unfiltered episode, I take you into the depths of my ongoing battle with a mental healthcare approach that seems more interested in medication guess-work than actual measures for recovery.I'm currently taking seven different medications – heavy-duty pharmaceuticals that should, theoretically, be providing relief from my complex mental health conditions. Yet despite this chemical cocktail, my symptoms continue to worsen. My frustration is palpable as I recount my recent psychiatric appointment where my request to safely taper off medications under supervision was dismissed, replaced instead with simply swapping one medication for another.The consequences of inadequate treatment have now spilled into my work life. I've been stripped of my forklift operator role – the one area where I felt most competent and found respite from my social anxiety. This loss represents the real-world impact of a mental health system that keeps failing those who need it most. And this could only be the start.What makes this situation particularly disappointing is my willingness to try anything – even considering ECT or extended hospital admissions – just to get proper help. When someone describes themselves as "the most willing patient" who is willing to try anything, yet cannot access appropriate care despite years of advocacy, we must question how our mental health services are prioritised and delivered.For anyone navigating complex mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers validation that you're not alone in your struggle. The path to proper treatment shouldn't be this difficult, but together we can continue advocating for better approaches. --Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

7 Reasons Why BPD Relationships FailWhy do relationships with someone who has untreated Borderline Personality Disorder so often end in heartbreak? In this episode, I share the 7 key reasons why BPD relationships fail — explained with compassion, depth, and clarity. Whether you're the partner, the ex, or someone living with BPD yourself, you'll gain insight into the emotional patterns that make love feel intense yet unstable — and why love alone isn't enough to keep it alive without healing and change.This is not about blame. It's about Codependents' truth, self-understanding, and reclaiming your peace by healing, breaking the trauma bond and reclaiming your own personal power and creating a healthier and more functional relationship to and with yourself.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new Course Modules coming soonhttps://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com - This podcast and my Youtube FeedThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

BPD Mirror Holds No Internal Reflection: You are *Unseen* If you've ever loved someone with untreated Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and felt like they never truly saw you — this episode explains why. Through the lens of BPD fragmentation, we uncover how their “mirror” doesn't reflect you at all, but instead the broken, distorted image of a wounding parent from their past. You'll learn:Why the “mirror” of a person with BPD is cracked from early relational trauma.How loved ones become trapped in distorted roles they can't escape.Why no amount of love or explanation can make them see the real you.The first step to freeing yourself from their reflection and reclaiming your identity.If you've felt invisible, miscast, or frozen in the wrong role — this episode will give you the clarity you need to step out of their fragmented mirror "reflection" of you for good.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new Course Modules coming soonThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

That said, loving someone with BPD traits can be intense.”“Boundaries are not abandonment.”“‘I can see this feels really scary for you.'”“There's usually a younger part asking, ‘Do I matter to you?'”“‘You matter to me. I'm not leaving you. I care when these things get hard.'”“This can erode your sense of self over time.”“I understand you feel abandoned when you don't hear from me right away. I wasn't ignoring you; I was in a meeting.”“Compassion for the person with BPD doesn't mean excusing harm.”“BPD reflects unmet emotional needs and trauma.”“I'm the adult here that's going to create that safety.”“I thought you were saying that I'm damaged, un-fixable, or broken.”“Underneath intensity is usually someone who longs for stability and connection.”“You can't love someone's pain away, but your steadiness, boundaries and compassion can make a difference.”“A healthy relationship requires BOTH people's willingness to grow.”“I believe it's possible for anyone to heal.”

Access All's Emma Tracey chats to three comedians taking to the stage at Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer. Joe Tracini has been battling with borderline personality disorder (BPD) his whole life but is in a good place and ready to wow the crowds in Scotland with his show, alongside the negative voice in his head, Mick. This year marks 20 years since comedy troupe Abnormally Funny People was formed, made up of a collection of comedians with disabilities or mental health conditions. Two of those performing this year include Juliette Burton and Harriet Dyer. Juliette talks about the A-Z of conditions she's been diagnosed with since she was a teenager and how a recent diagnosis of autism and ADHD may have just made the previous 30 years of her life make sense. And Harriet Dyer, who lives with bi-polar disorder, reveals how she accidentally fell into comedy after telling the true story about how she died twice, to a classroom full of students.

The BPD Love ParadoxWhy does someone with Borderline Personality Disorder crave deep love—only to destroy it when it arrives?

Mahari compassionately unpacks why intimacy feels both irresistible and terrifying to those with BPD. Whether you're loving someone with BPD or navigating the disorder yourself, this episode offers clarity, empathy, and a path toward healing.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new info Products coming soonThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

BPD Fragmented Self Blocks Connection and CommunicationBPD fragmented self blocks connection and communication. I dive deeply into the core reason a person with (especially untreated) BPD cannot hear you or see you. These are toxic relationships. When you are relating to a person with BPD in any relationship type, there is no "we". No mutuality, no reciprocity. They don't see you or hear you and in this podcast episode I get to the core of why and how Borderline Personality is a relationship disorder of disconnection and inability to attach and communicate that persists due to the fragmented lack of self in every person with Borderline Personality (unless and and until extremely well treated over 8-16 years in a psychodynamic modality of specialized BPD treatment.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new info Products coming soonThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

They begin by addressing a parent's concern about protecting their toddler during a high-conflict custody case involving someone displaying narcissistic traits, offering practical strategies for both the legal process and emotional support. The conversation then shifts to handling intimidating behavior and urgent decision-making scenarios, particularly when dealing with someone who attempts to force their approach.

Dr. Rick and Forrest answer listener questions about perfectionism, performance anxiety, trauma, and relationships. They explore how early praise for being “gifted” can create a fear of failure and contribute to “failure to launch,” and share ways to shift from focusing on an idealized future to appreciating your actual self right now. They discuss learned helplessness, the freeze response, and practical ways to build agency and vitality to counter feelings of powerlessness. Other topics include the differences between borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder, overcoming performance anxiety, and how to decide which friendships are worth investing in. Key Topics: 02:30: Gifted kid syndrome and fear of failure 08:00: Moving from potential to presence 15:50: Performance anxiety and perfectionism 18:50: Redefining success through process goals 22:30: Learned helplessness and the freeze response 29:30: Reclaiming agency and vitality 38:00: Failure to launch in adulthood 45:00: BPD vs. Bipolar disorder 55:00: Rethinking modern friendship advice 1:03:34: Recap Support the Podcast: We're now on Patreon!

Did you have healthy boundaries modeled for you when you were growing up? Do you feel like you know how to set healthy boundaries with your folks?If not, then some of these things may apply:You felt like (or continue to feel like) you need to take care of your mom or dadYou don't really feel free to live your life as you'd like because you know this might "hurt" one or both of your parentsWhile growing up and/or when you're home these days, you have to walk on eggshells so as not to upset themYou feel that their emotional wellbeing is somehow your responsibility (As one man on the panel put it, "As long as I please them, they won't be emotionally unstable.)You've heard terms like 'enmeshment' or 'emotional neglect' and thought, "Hmmm, that might apply to me."You just have an intuitive sense that you need to set some boundaries with one or both of your parents.---In this panel discussion, four men share their raw, authentic and vulnerable truths around boundaries they've needed to set with their mothers, fathers, or both. We also hit on some highlights around Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), since many emotionally immature parents have BPD patterns.---Memorable quotes from this episode:“The real hammer came down when my mom figured it out.”“I just remember the house being filled with almost like an emotional toxic gas.”“She said, ‘You're gonna tell me NO?' — and I'm 32 years old and trembling.”“I was at the mercy of conditional love.”“I needed to claim my sense of self.”“Before I got sober, I couldn't even conceptualize what boundaries were.”“I don't have a mother; I have a 60-year-old child.”“My role was: ‘I am responsible for healing my mom's depression and sadness.'”“The two most important women in my life — my mother and my partner — are now at odds with each other.”“So I told my parents: 'The next time we have a conversation about my relationship with my woman, she will be there in the room with us.'”“I have true confidence now. I know what I need, and this is what I need from you.”“No one has the remote control to my emotions; they get the manual.”“I started to realize how much my autonomy was impacted, disrupted, and denied.”“When I set that boundary with my parents, my partner was just thrilled, and proud and happy.”“It was like no matter what I did, she was always going to be right... there was no space for me to exist.”“There is no capacity for this person to see where she has hurt others.”“As I pulled back more and more, the neediness ramped up and up and up.”“Mom, I'm sorry — I can't have a relationship with you right now.”“There's a part of me that just wanted to be the ‘good boy.'”“I've been no contact with my mom for six years, and honestly it's been a relief.”“I started to come to myself from a place of compassion rather than from a place of shame.”“I really did make every effort possible for us to have a healthy relationship.”“If you're feeling stuck, that's the perfect time to reach out for help.”“You are not alone.”---Mentioned on this episode:Dear Men 354: What's it like treating Borderline Personality Disorder?Dear Men 345: The 4 male 'types' that partner with women with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)Dear Men 128: Feel like you're walking on eggshells?
