Claire has been on the podcast before in the past and fast forward a few years and she's married and in her final year of graduate school to become a clinical therapist. I first met Claire long before she was even engaged and I'm feeling some strange nostalgia as I write this.
HONESTLY WHERE THE F HAS TIME GONE?
Claire recently sent me a message about her struggle emotionally with a difficult situation at school and we decided it would be a cool opportunity to explore on the podcast her experience learning to provide therapy. I can't wait to see who she becomes as a therapist, who she helps, and the impact she will have on this field that so desperately needs more people like us in it. Thank you Claire for sharing your journey with me, again, on the podcast.

Anger, Guilt, and Self-Hatred
People often associate BPD with anger and violence which is not helped by media representations and BPD being a classified as a “personality disorder”. The truth is, while we may get angrier than most, violence and BPD are not always interconnected. Laurie and Sara discuss their experiences with anger and learning how to minimize it as well as the guilt associated with anger towards others. Trigger warnings: domestic violence

Bold Beautiful Borderline - Impulsivity: The balancing act

Impulsivity: The balancing act

Bold Beautiful Borderline

play

12/20/20 • 27 min

Impulsivity is possibly the most fun and most devastating symptom of borderline personality disorder.
Be it impulsive sex, substance use, speeding, shopping, binge eating, or basically anything that gives immediate gratification in maybe not the most healthy ways... we’ve probably been there and done that.
But impulsivity it’s not necessarily a symptom we’d want to live without either! Being impulsive also makes us more fun, passionate, exciting, and spontaneous.
It’s all about balance.

Bold Beautiful Borderline - The BPD Emotional Rollercoaster

The BPD Emotional Rollercoaster

Bold Beautiful Borderline

play

12/27/20 • 41 min

One of the key characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD) are rapidly shifting mood swings. These last minutes to hours, rather than days or weeks as seen in other mental illnesses. Sara and Laurie share stories of what these rapid mood swings have been like for them and the people around them. Just like how rapid our moods may spiral this episode goes in many different directions, almost comically so. We almost named this episode “Ramblings to Two Lunatics” because of how all over the place this conversation went.

Bold Beautiful Borderline - Adverse Childhood Experiences (feat. Dr. Uyeda)
play

05/30/22 • 43 min

Adverse Childhood Experiences are correlated with a vast array of physical, mental, and social outcomes in adulthood.
This week's guest is Dr. Linda Uyeda who obtained her medical degree and completed her family practice residency training at the University of British Columbia. She works at a Psychiatric Hospital in British Columbia, Canada. Her personal journey into the science of true healing began after her medical studies were over. 18 years ago, with the birth of her first child, she became interested in human development. Like many new parents, she felt confused about advice she was receiving from family and friends and turned to the scientific community for answers. She expanded her medical education to explore neuroscience, parenting, trauma, and attachment and was fascinated by what she found. An unexpected incident at work in 2015 combined with a family illness over the next several years, drove home the fact that nurturing resilience and compassion are key to wellbeing. After incorporating this information into her own parenting approach and her medical practice with great success, she has begun educating others about what she has learned.
