I have been told I was too emotional my whole life.   I have always had big feelings and guess what?  That is never going to change.  AND it turns out that there is no such thing as being TOO emotional.  There is just you and your emotions and the truth of what that looks like for you.  We worry a lot about being too emotional and too much for other people, but instead we need to flip our thinking and supporting ourselves being the gorgeous emotional humans that we are.  Listen in to find out how.Book a free discovery call: https://amandahesscoaching.as.me/call

Welcome to the first podcast episode of 2024! As we dive into this new year, I am beyond excited and filled with clarity about what I have in store for you. This year, my goal is to bring you my absolute best, sharing insights that will truly blow your mind.In today's episode, titled "The Anti-Resolution," I address the common practice of setting New Year's resolutions, something I've grown to dislike – not just for myself but for you too. Why? Because resolutions often focus solely on taking action without considering the underlying intentions, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.I share a recent coaching experience where we explored the power of feeling emotions in the body, emphasizing the importance of understanding our emotions rather than suppressing them. The key is to move beyond mere willpower, recognizing that true change requires a deep dive into our thoughts and beliefs.As we navigate through the episode, I challenge the conventional approach to resolutions, especially those centered around weight loss, fitness, or eliminating habits. Instead, I encourage you to question why you desire these changes and whether the underlying beliefs align with your true desires.I open up about my own journey, recounting a time when I believed clearing my acne would bring happiness, only to realize that self-acceptance and approval were the true goals. This serves as a reminder that external changes don't guarantee internal fulfillment.The core message of the episode revolves around the concept of an "anti-resolution." I'm not against creating new results in your life; however, I am against mindless action and setting resolutions without understanding why you want them. I urge you to ponder the question: Why do I want this result? And go beyond the superficial answers.I introduce a crucial aspect of the anti-resolution approach – focusing on emotions. What negative emotions are you experiencing, and what positive emotions are you longing for? By identifying and understanding these feelings, you can begin the journey of creating a life you truly desire.To assist you on this journey, I offer a simple exercise: write down the specific negative emotions you want to overcome and explore the corresponding positive emotions you wish to cultivate. This is the starting point for building emotional resilience and creating sustainable change.As a preview to an upcoming masterclass, I invite you to join me on January 16th to delve deeper into the anti-resolution concept. The masterclass will provide a step-by-step guide on how to implement this approach and transform your life in 2024.

Are you interested in exploring the often-overlooked connection between Autism and BPD/EUPD? In this episode, Dr. Jay Watts and I dive deep into the topic, discussing the reasons why women and AFAB individuals are less likely to be diagnosed with autism and exploring common autistic traits that are missed in women.Listeners will gain insight into the coping strategies of autistic "masking" and "camouflaging" that are often missed in women and girls, as well as the characteristic "special interests" of women with autism. Together, we also unpack the harmful stigma that arises from the BPD/EUPD labels and how people with these labels are stigmatized in psychiatric settings.Recent events, such as the reversal of the decision to remove BPD and EUPD labels from the ICD-10 due to issues with the American insurance systems, highlight the urgent need for a more nuanced understanding of psychiatric labels. We explore how BPD and cPTSD traits are rooted in trauma and touch on the chronic feelings of emptiness and suicidality experienced by individuals with these labels.Finally, we delve into the potentially harmful effects of DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and the importance of informed consent in psychiatric treatment when it comes to treatment modalities and psychiatric medications.Join Dr. Watts and me as we unpack the complex intersections of Autism and BPD/EUPD and challenge the stigma surrounding psychiatric labels.ABOUT OUR GUESTDr. Jay Watts is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, senior lecturer, and dedicated mental health activist working in London.

Let's face it: we have to work to live. The unfortunate reality is that those who identify with symptoms of what is known as borderline personality disorder (BPD or EUPD), as well as other disorder labels like complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD), often find it hard to “hold down a job.” These individuals are often highly sensitive, reactive, creative, intuitive, and intense. The workplace can be highly triggering for anyone grappling with trauma recovery. It's all too common to feel that we have to take/do jobs that we hate and end up sacrificing our creative passions. In this episode, we will discuss the common issues and triggers that can arise for us in the workplace and how to best handle and move through them. We'll also dive into how we can move towards work that we love – something that can feel impossible but doesn't have to be. This one's for you if you feel like you jump from job to job and find yourself repeating patterns that cause chaos and discontentment in your professional life. Trust me: there is hope. ​​Questions answered and topics discussed in this episode:■ Can someone with symptoms of BPD or cPTSD keep or maintain a job?  ■ Why do people who identify with BPD or cPTSD impulsively quit their jobs, regardless of the consequences?  ■ Signs you might be a chronic “job hopper” and what to do about it (and why it isn't ALWAYS a bad thing)■ Can someone with BPD have a successful career (spoiler alert: YES)■ Can BPD symptoms make you unable to work?  ■ The most common struggles people with symptoms of BPD and cPTSD experience in the workplace (issues with authority, gossiping, ruminating, reactivity, fear of rejection, tying self-worth to work, etc.)■ The connection between BPD identity issues and choosing a long-term career■ Why it can feel impossible to find work we actually enjoy doing (and how to overcome this)■ BPD and work performance (BPD and losing jobs)   Resources mentioned:■ Essay by Paul Graham: “How To Do What You Love”■ Twitter thread by Billy Oppenheimer: “12 habits and principles for doing your best creative work”■ Book by Elizabeth Gilbert: “Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear” Disclaimer: information contained in this podcast episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for treatment or consultation with a licensed mental health professional.

Check out this article for confirmation of this assertion: https://ct.counseling.org/2022/10/not-a-monster-destigmatizing-borderline-personality-disorder/ In this episode, I define and demystify dissociation and offer a first step strategy to understand one's own dissociative profile. The key to better understanding dissociation rests in normalizing it. Check out these resources that were referenced in the podcast:  One of the leading psychiatric scholars in the treatment of dissociation is Dr. Elizabeth Howell. In her book The Dissociative Mind, she contends [2]: Chronic trauma...that occurs early in life has profound effects on personality development and can lead to the development of dissociative identity disorder (DID), other dissociative disorders, personality disorders, psychotic thinking, and a host of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse. In my view, DID is simply an extreme version of the dissociative structure of the psyche that characterizes us all. Dissociation, in a general sense, refers to the rigid separation of parts of experience, including somatic experience, consciousness, affects, perception, identity, and memory.

Do you ever feel like you momentarily completely detach from reality? Have you been scared to talk about these feelings and experiences with other people out of fear of being called delusional or “crazy?” Dissociation during times of stress or vulnerability is one of the main symptoms that people who identify with traits of borderline personality disorder (EUPD) may experience. In BPD, dissociation is linked to other symptoms, such as emotion dysregulation and disrupted identity. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of dissociation. You'll learn how common this experience is and how to ground yourself more deeply in the present moment to stop yourself from spiraling and panicking when feelings of dissociation inevitably arise. ​​

Green Sunrise Podcast will look into a few details regarding EUPD/BPD and will look at the many issues surrounding people at first just being diagnosed to then having to deal with professionals.e EUPD is one of the most stigmatised mental health conditions out there. Thanks partly to media stereotyping, with films such as the infamous Fatal Attraction casting sufferers as crazed ‘bunny boilers', and partly to older clinical and academic attitudes that saw BPD as being on the borderline of neurosis and psychosis and thus somehow untreatable, those of us with the diagnosis face an uphill struggle to get taken seriously. 8 positives of BPD / EUPD — EUPD Recovery --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/greensunrise/message

I have been told I was too emotional my whole life.   I have always had big feelings and guess what?  That is never going to change.  AND it turns out that there is no such thing as being TOO emotional.  There is just you and your emotions and the truth of what that looks like for you.  We worry a lot about being too emotional and too much for other people, but instead we need to flip our thinking and supporting ourselves being the gorgeous emotional humans that we are.  Listen in to find out how.Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theborderlinepersonalitycoach/Book a free discovery call: https://amandahesscoaching.as.me/call

In the third of the 5 Critical Crisis Conversations, Manaan explores how the person's agenda of ensuring short term safety through admission may be quite different to the long term focus of resilience for the professional.Both want safety but the route to it is different. Being able to show the similarity of the overarching goal amidst the dissimilarity of the immediate outcome is a critical conversation to have with the person in distress. If they are able to understand that the professional is not rejecting their needs or abandoning them and on the contrary is selecting a much longer harder route to walk with them one can bring the person on board for safety planning and taking charge of maintaining their safety. Or else a person with BPD will feel the pressure to prove the professional that they are in deep distress and the risk will escalate as the threats to harm oneself intensifies.

So often we are "mad" at our brain and "mad" at our body for how they are looking and preforming.  And it can seem like this is a useful way to go about it, except that all it tends to create is shame and worry.  Nothing good comes from shame and worry. Befriending your brain and befriending your body will change your relationship with yourself.  Instead of constantly chasing motivation, you will be inspired to live the way you want to be living.  Listen in while I explain exactly what this is, why it matters and exactly how you can implement this for yourself.Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theborderlinepersonalitycoach/Book a FREE discovery call: https://amandahesscoaching.as.me/call

The second of the Borderline AWARE conversations relates to Weighting (Diagnosis, Course, Social Causation - how these factors may influence the weighting that we put on a person's suicidality). The conversation is named Empowerment vs Containment. The episode builds on the Advice vs Action conversation and goes a step further providing the listener a thorough understanding of the different approaches to take and when to take those approaches.Based on whether the presentation is acute, chronic or acute on chronic the professional needs to make an informed and mindful approach regarding the focus of therapeutic action. Essentially they need to answer the question, is this a situation that needs containment or is it one where my focus needs to be on empowering the person to believe that these suicidal urges can be navigated.

In this episode of the HUMAN First podcast, Dr. Courtney gets real about her main mental health struggle, Borderline Personality Disorder, with a fellow person with BPD, Mollie. Mollie is the host of the wildly popular BPD-focused podcast, Back From The Borderline, and the creator of the companion Instagram account, @backfromtheborderline. Here is a list of the topics/questions they discuss: Mollie discusses her mission to become an emotional grown up (something so many of us need to do...) Realizing your parents are flawed humans like you (yikes!) Dr. Courtney discusses KARMA the group discussion at her old treatment center How BPD has been defined and how it is defined today by Mollie (so helpful!) Why Mollie created her podcast Back from the Borderline How many people have BPD and why you probably know someone who has it (spoiler: you do if you're listening to this podcast) The criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder from the DSM-5 Mollie discusses how the symptoms she experiences are universal but for those who struggle with BPD are chronic (YES) Why it's sometimes called "EUPD" vs "BPD" Molly shares her experience going to a psychiatrist and how that unfolded Hypersexuality and using sex as self-harm (one of Dr. Courtney's biggest self-harming techniques as well) Suicidal ideation as a result of undiagnosed BPD Medication vs Coping Skills Spirituality as a means of re-parenting and more of Molly's coping skills You can find Mollie on Instagram at: @backfromtheborderline You can also find her podcasts wherever podcasts are found.

In this sequence of nuanced conversations, listeners will be guided through some of the most sensitive issues that they will have to navigate while supporting a person in suicidal distress. This episode captures the essence of Advice vs Action. The advice we give - face your fears, applies to us as well when we make decisions regarding whether we admit or not. We must role model the advice we provide to have credibility. Listeners will learn the in-parts conversation to put on the table the dilemma that the mental health practitioner is facing. This is part of the Borderline Conversation AWARE program that is taught as an advanced training for mental health practitioners.

One of the more common markers of BPD is fear of abandonment. It's the one I hate the most, and one that I've still not managed to work my way through. As it happens, I'm in the thick of it at the time of recording.

I was scared to post this episode. My inner critic was telling me if I didn't prepare plenty of research and uphold my usual standards of perfection, my listeners would immediately unfollow the podcast. I decided to question that inner voice this time. On this episode, I get candid about chronic feelings of emptiness and numbness, a core feature of borderline personality disorder (also known as BPD or EUPD.) I hope you enjoy this more relaxed "story-time" approach. Below are some concepts discussed in this episode: ■ My personal experience of chronic feelings of emptiness and numbness throughout my struggle with BPD■ Identifying the first time I ever felt empty and numb as a child■ Fear of dying / fear of the concept of "forever" ■ How big feelings can paralyze us as children and trap us in what feels like a permanently frozen state if we don't have caregivers who can support us through this process (often, our parents never had anyone to help them move through their OWN big feelings) ■ The negative impact of expecting a constant state of happiness as a measuring stick for successful recovery ■ Making the decision to switch my expectation of happiness for a state of contented, grounded, wise mind■ Questioning my inner critic and re-parenting my inner child self Visit the website: https://www.backfromtheborderline.com/Follow the podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bpdtea/Join the exclusive Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/backfromtheborderline See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Impulsivity is a core feature of BPD. Impulsivity in BPD has been defined as 'rapid and unplanned action.' However, a preference for immediate gratification and discounting of longer-term rewards might better describe the impulsive behaviors that people with BPD use to regulate their emotional distress.The most up-to-date research proposes that BPD develops due to a complex interplay of genetics, increased affective sensitivity/reactivity, and stressful life events. The idea is that these factors prevent those of us with BPD from developing healthy emotional coping mechanisms, which results in a severe form of emotional dysregulation.Our difficulty regulating our emotions is what leads to our increased use of impulsive coping strategies. Usually, without even being conscious of it, we are using these impulsive behaviors to help self-soothe (also called "down-regulate) and further repress our deep feelings of shame and self-hatred. The key here is that for people with BPD, impulsivity usually occurs in response to the stress and negative emotions we've taught ourselves to avoid. Regardless of the specific impulsive act, it is generally indicative of an inability to self-soothe and an attempt to create a distraction from underlying emotional issues.Below is a breakdown of the subjects covered in today's episode: • Introductions, reading reviews & a big announcement! • What is impulsivity? • How people with BPD use impulsive behaviors to regulate their emotional distress• How impulsive behaviors develop in people with borderline personality disorder • Examples of impulsive behaviors experienced by someone with BPD • What exactly makes a behavior go from "nothing to worry about" to impulsive?

How we talk and think about ourselves can turn insecurity into joy, doubt into confidence, and shame into self-love. Every human (even those of us with BPD) has unlimited potential. The key to unlocking that potential is learning to love ourselves. BPD causes us to doubt our abilities and self-worth and struggle with a poor self-image for much of our lives. Sometimes to the outsider, we can seem quite successful, giving little indication of the almost constant negative discourse going on inside our own heads. Learning to love and appreciate ourselves is the key to BPD recovery. This episode contains everything you'll need to release yourself from the judgmental prison you've created inside your own mind.Below is a breakdown of the subjects covered in today's episode: • How self-hatred manifests in people with borderline personality disorder (experiences shared from Reddit) • What is the inner critic?

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often have rocky relationships, both romantic and platonic. Romantic relationships present a unique set of challenges for people with BPD and for their partners. Symptoms of BPD can cause constant changes in emotions. For example, a person with BPD may be affectionate and doting, but within a few hours, their emotional state may switch. They may feel smothered or overwhelmed. This can lead them to push away the partner they had just been drawing closer. With treatment and continual support from family and partners, people with BPD can have successful relationshipsBelow is a breakdown of the subjects covered in today's episode: • Why is intimacy important? • What are the different types of intimacy (experiential, emotional, intellectual, sexual) • BPD & fear of intimacy (abandonment issues, fear of rejection, control issues, past abuse) • BPD's impact on intimacy (abandonment sensitivity, lying, impulsive sexuality, self-harm, dissociative symptoms) • What the research says about intimacy & BPD• Starting a relationship with someone with BPD • The BPD relationship cycle (stages 1-6) • Tips for both people with BPD and for loved ones on improving intimacy and relationship stability ** BFTB is the place to be for the tea on all things BPD, EUPD, and emotional dysregulation.

CW: Child sexual abuse, rape, physical abuse, self-harm In this episode of Back from the Borderline, I'm joined by Kabir Khurana: a 21-year-old British-Indian philosophy student from London who lives with BPD. Kabir identifies as a nonbinary person. Non-binary is used to describe people who feel their gender cannot be defined within the margins of gender binary. Instead, they understand their gender in a way that goes beyond simply identifying as either a man or woman.A 2011 study found that patients with BPD were approximately twice as likely to report having a sexual relationship with a same-sex partner as comparison subjects with other personality disorders. It is a well known fact that queer people have poorer mental health outcomes than the heterosexual population, mainly due to discrimination, finding it difficult to access services, etc.After learning more about Kabir's story, I thought the podcast audience would appreciate their story, journey and perspective. The BPD community is desperately in need of more diverse representation - the experiences of individuals of color, and of those in the queer community need to be shared to gain a deeper and more holistic understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder.Links to resources mentioned in today's episode: Research study mentioned in the introduction (Sexual Orientation and Relationship Choice in Borderline Personality Disorder)@understandingbpd | Instagram account run by Candice AlaskaBack from The Borderline | Podcast by Rose Skeeters MA, LPC, PN2Connect with Kabir: Instagram | @kabir_khuranaSupport Kabir's Causes:Not A Phase | Charity supporting the lives of trans+ adults across the UKEveryone's Invited created by Soma Sara | "Everyone's Invited's mission is to expose and eradicate rape culture with empathy, compassion, and understanding"Below is a breakdown of the subjects Kabir and I cover:• Borderline Personality Disorder in teenagers• Gender identity and sexual orientation and BPD• Inadequate parent-child boundaries and borderline personality disorder in adolescence (parentification)• The Borderline Personality Disordered Family (The Impact of Growing up with a Narcissistic Parent has on BPD outcomes)• The Relationship Between Child Abuse and BPD• The lived experience of recovery in borderline personality disorder (EUPD)• BPD and Managing the Favorite Person RelationshipBFTB is the place to be for the tea on all things BPD, EUPD, and emotional dysregulation.

Psychiatrists Eric Bui and Rachel Rodgers argued that Anakin Skywalker use a useful example for explaining Borderline Personality disorder to medical students, hoping their findings would raise awareness of the disorder, especially among teens. In today's episode, we reflect on Darth Vader as a character. Throughout my research, I developed a keen empathy for this lost soul. The themes of becoming stuck in vicious cycles oof mental illness, addictions, post-traumatic stress and abusive relationships are all themes that appear throughout Anakin's storyline. Even if our own stakes aren't as high as Anakin's, some of his struggles are universal. Below is a breakdown of the topics covered: • 03:48 | Who is Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker? | His role in the Star Wars franchise• 07:05 | The creation and development of the character Darth Vader • 08:03 | The concept and writing behind George Lucas' Darth Vader character• 11:49 | The various portrayals of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies by actors David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Hayden Christensen and Gene Bryant• 15:38 | The mythology behind the character and the “tragic hero” archetype, which appeared in ancient Greek Tragedies (such as those by philosopher Aristotle) • 18:38 | Why is Anakin Skywalker considered a “tragic hero”? • 22:03 | Why do some psychiatrists consider Darth Vader a useful example for explaining Borderline Personality Disorder? • 24:44 | A breakdown of Anakin Skywalker's BPD traits (impulsivity, anger management issues, idealizing / devaluing splitting behaviors, dissociative episodes, emotional repression, paranoia /intrusive thoughts, and identity disturbance) • 26:24 | Final thoughts (how teens can relate to the troubled Anakin Skywalker) If you're interested in further reading, click here for an incredible recent article (06/26/21) from the National School of Journalism and Public Disclosure titled “The Psychological Side of the Force."

Borderline Personality Disorder (also known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder or EUPD) can have a significant impact on how we experience sexuality and intimacy. This information should come as no surprise since BPD symptoms can affect our emotional state, relationships, and our ability to control our impulses. There is very little research out there on BPD and its effects on sexuality, but more and more work suggests that those with BPD can experience multiple fundamental problems with sex. In today's episode, Mollie reads and reacts to a 2011 NCBI article titled “Sexual Behavior in Borderline Personality” by Randy A, Sansone, MD, and Lori A. Sansone, MD. If you'd like to read the article in full, it can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3071095/Below are timestamps for the primary topics: 01:00 - Why sex and intimacy is such a hot topic in the BPD community / sex as a form of self-harm 04:38 - Introduction to the article “Sexual Behavior in Borderline Personality”07:00 - Sexual impulsivity, sexual preoccupation, and promiscuity in BPD 10:30 - Early sexual exposure and childhood sexual abuse as it relates to BPD 14:14 - High risk sexual behaviors and BPD 15:11 - The tornado of BPD and the eye of the storm 17:00 - The importance of self-love (Dr. Caroline Leaf's idea on becoming a “thought detective”)19:00 - How “impulsivity and victimization” make up the core of our issues with sex and intimacy 26:05 - Making ourselves the slutty butt of the joke (does your BPD make you erotophilic?) 28:00 - Drinking and impulsive sexual behaviors 33:00 - Why we act like we hate ourselves 35:00 - Full bodied sexual consent for those of us with BPD and sexual orientation confusion 39:00 - BPD and victim mentality 40:00 - Outro / wise words from RuPaul on loving yourselfBFTB is the place to be for the tea on all things BPD, EUPD and emotional dysregulation.

To split something means to divide it. “Splitting” is often considered a hallmark of BPD / EUPD. It is characterized by the propensity to completely idealize or devalue other people, places, ideas, or objects. To see them as all good or all bad. Splitting causes those of us with borderline personality disorder to view life, ourselves, and others in extremes. Black and white thinking, no gray areas.

Borderline Personality Disorder is no longer consider a chronic mental illness. There is hope. Recovery can happen! This week, I interview Grace. Grace’s story is inspiring, motivating, and genuine. Her drive and passion to recover lead her to this podcast after a series of negative Facebook groups, where members were perpetuating the stigma behind BPD, EUPD, and CPTSD. Listen in as Grace shares how she found hope, how she feels about the stigma and the impact it had on her journey, and how she has walked the recovery path. Contact us today at 1-844-9-THRIVE.

In this episode Sophie chats to music manager and A&R consultant Yasmin Lajoie about her experiences of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yasmin wanted this conversation to include discussion about moments of crisis, so that people can get an understanding of the severity and complexity of the disorder, knowing that the media tends to cover the disorder unhelpfully/inaccurately, or steers away from the severe ends of Mental Health illness completely. They explore how BPD (or EUPD) can impact careers and relationships, and someone's ability to manage certain aspects of adult life, like finances. They also discuss how childhood trauma is a risk factor, with Yasmin recalling moments that may well have contributed to her eventual diagnosis. While this chat covers very serious and sensitive subjects, there is also discussion of acceptance, how beneficial finding a good therapist is, and the positive impact sharing your story can have.

Personality disorder is often referred to as the “Cinderella” diagnosis of mental health. Around 1 in 20 people is estimated to have a personality disorder, and it is a neglected and under-resourced area of our healthcare system. In this week's episode, we discuss the stigma surrounding personality disorder, which can often manifest itself in high levels of anxiety for both patients and GPs, when it comes to diagnosing and managing it, and how to help a patient come to terms with their diagnosis. With suicidal ideation being experienced by many people with a personality disorder on a regular basis, we also talk about how we may best manage a situation of a patient in crisis presenting in primary care. Our guests: Leisha Davies is a clinical psychologist, originally from South Africa, who currently works in private practice. Soumitra Burman-Roy is a consultant psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. He also works for Maudsley Learning, an organisation which provides mental health training for primary care. Marie Stella McClure, who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at the age of 38, is the author of ‘Borderline: a Memoir', a book about her life and experiences of BPD.

In Zeiten von Corona gehen die Zulassungen von PKWs in Deutschland deutlich zurück, allerdings steigt die Anzahl der Elektroautos immer weiter an. Mit den richtigen Maßnahmen kann die Krise als Anschub für die Verkehrswende und Wirtschaft dienen. Neben E-Autos und einem flächendeckenden Netz an öffentlichen Ladesäulen ist ein Durchblick bei dem momentan noch vorherrschenden Dschungel an öffentlichen Ladestromtarifen zwingend notwendig. EuPD hat sich daher gemeinsam mit Edison Media im 3. Jahr in Folge dieser Aufgabe gewidmet. Tobias Bücklein begrüßt Christine Koch, Research Analyst, EuPD Research GmbH und fragt für Sie nach, welches die derzeitigen Top-Tarife für verschiedene E-Auto-Typen sind. Einen Auszug der Studie "Vergleichsanalyse mobiler Ladestromtarife 2020" finden Sie hier: https://www.eupd-research.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Ladestromtarife_2020_Angebot_Studie.pdf
