Common Misconceptions About Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Borderline Personality Disorder is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized mental health diagnoses out there. In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest myths—like “people with BPD are manipulative,” “BPD is untreatable,” or “they’re just attention-seeking”—and explaining why these stereotypes are flat-out wrong.

As a DBT therapist, I’ll walk you through what’s really going on beneath the surface, how BPD actually shows up, and why recovery is possible. Whether you’re living with BPD, love someone who has it, or just want to better understand the disorder without all the stigma, this episode will give you compassion, clarity, and hope.
