Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul T Mason

On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are covering the highly requested topic of shame. They start the episode off by distinguishing between the emotions of guilt and shame as they can feel quite similar but are very different. Then they share some of Brene Brown's research including the 3 things shame needs to survive and how to get out of a shame spiral with tangible steps. Emmalee and Jen discuss healing from shame, shame and judgment and how they can go hand in hand, the difference between secrecy and privacy, a therapist's perspective on client's shame, overcoming body shame, the shame and stigma surrounding mental health, and the shame that can come from holding onto shame for so long. How many times can we say shame in one episode description? Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 6 minutes into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today's content.

Episode 10 -  "Borderline Personality and Narcissistic Personality in a Relationship: Part 2" - In part 2 of this episode, we continue our exploration of what's likely to happen when a BPD* meets an NPD** and they fall in love.    Sure these are some mighty attractive people, but what's the attraction? And they can be some of the smartest people you'll ever meet, so why can't they break the fight-fuck cycle?  What's the long-term likelihood these two will stay together and actually work it out? In our efforts to illustrate some of the behaviors and relationship dynamics we're talking about, we refer to popular songs, high profile personalities and or couples, and recognizable pairings from real or fictional relationships.

The information in this podcast is not meant to be used as a clinical diagnosis. **Another important thing to point out is that we believe strongly that people are not their diagnoses.  However, in conversation about these personality disorders professionals often resort to shorthand, referring to someone with borderline personality disorder (BPD) as "a borderline" or someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) as “a narcissist”.   We are no exception. However, this is a habit you will hear us actively trying to break in this public forum. www.DoctorWendyOConnor.com e:  DrWendyOConnor@gmail.com fb: https://www.facebook.com/askdrwendy tw: @askDrWendy www.JenniJVWilson.com e:  JenniferJVWilson@gmail.com fb: www.facebook.com/JenniJVWilson tw: @JenniJVWilson CLIPS: Madonna - Borderline   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSaC-YbSDpo Macy Gray - Boo - no official video   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqWwRnf0eRA Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRzMtlZjXpU Tina Turner - What's Love Got to Do with It  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGpFcHTxjZs Everything But the Girl - Rollercoaster    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQZNZ44ooZACaro Emerald - That Man   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Xtl22x5Sg RESOURCES mentioned: ONLINE -  Welcome to Oz Forum -  https://www.bpdcentral.com/faq/family-member https://www.bpdcentral.com/narcissistic-disorder/hallmarks-of-npd/ https://www.bpdcentral.com/borderline-disorder/hallmarks-of-bpd/ National Alliance on Mental Illness - https://www.nami.org/ BOOKS - Stop Walking On Eggshells - by Paul T.

For family members of people with borderline personality disorder (BPD), home life is routinely unpredictable and frequently unbearable. Extreme mood swings, impulsive behaviors, and suicidal tendencies—common conduct among those who suffer from the disorder—leave family members feeling confused, hurt, and helpless. In her pioneering first book Stop Walking on Eggshells, co-authored with Paul T. Mason, Randi Kreger outlined the fundamental differences in the way that people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) relate to the world. Now, with The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder, she takes readers to the next level, giving them straightforward tools to get off the emotional roller coaster and repair relationships with loved ones with BPD. Kreger answers the questions family members most want to ask about: the symptoms and treatment of BPD, including why BPD is so misdiagnosed; how symptoms can differ by age and gender; and how addiction and other disorders complicate BPD. She then outlines how families can set boundaries and communicate differently in order to help themselves and their loved ones cope with this bewildering form of mental illness.
