    So much expert discussion and research and theories focus so much on trying to teach people with BPD how to control their behavior so they don't cause too much trouble, to themselves or others. Those are important life skills, for sure. But what I rarely hear in lectures or videos about the disorder is any sort of treatment for the horrible pain that causes the "maladaptive" behaviors. When I did DBT, currently considered the most effective "treatment" for BPD, we were told straight up at the first class that it wasn't about learning how to feel better, it was about learning how to tolerate your painful emotions so you won't misbehave, so to speak. If "treatment" means "learning how to tolerate excruciating pain so that others will stick around," then I think research on this disorder has a long way to go. Yes, I want to be able to tolerate my pain better. But even more, I want to feel better so I don't have to tolerate the pain. I want a treatment that helps resolve my pain--not teach me how to handle it better.

    While I hear you...that is the opposite of accepting reality. Life has pain, and a lot of it is self created...through our own core wounds, cognitive distortions and false narratives. Constantly fighting against what "should" be and not accepting reality creates far more pain. It's like demanding to control the weather vs adapting, planning, and accepting that the weather is as it is. To expect less pain is resisting what is. Being able to sit with pain vs wanting it to be completely gone, are very very different mindsets. Life does not exist without pain. Our very entrance into the world is traumatic...and we were never given a handbook to life that said "expect no pain". It it is this faulty expectation that causes so many of us to try to numb it, make it go away, avoid it. If we truly understand that life and pain are intertwined, we accept it more readily. If we know we can sit with it and good times can come again, we can thrive more easily. Life is like the ocean, many waves, rip tides, power, beauty, and at times threat...but there is also a constancy. It behooves us all to not fight reality, but to have self efficacy, empowerment, resilience, to sit through and know we can handle the pain...that it does not need to control us. I worked in medicine and it would've been such a lie, and a bad goal...to tell any of my open heart patience that they would have no pain, that I could take it away entirely. Nope. I could try to lessen it, and do what I could, but a more realistic goal was to expect it...and that although it could be brought down, no pain was unrealistic. Think of the lepers back when, who had no pain and lost fingers and limbs...because of their loss of physical pain. They no longer had the signals to tell them to pull back from a hot stove, or a sliver was in their skin, and many other things. Emotional pain is there to let us know that we have needs that aren't being met, or boundaries being crossed. It's what we do with that information that helps or hurts us (and others). When we can get our frontal cortex online, with the emotional pain, we can lessen the pain...because we have a more accurate equation. We don't fall into the trap of being velcroed to the pain points as much. When we pause, get curious, about our pain...more than frantically trying to fight it off, numb it...just that alone can alleviate some of the pain. It's counterintuitive, but so powerful. I promise, that holding space for you pain...is the opposite of self abandonment. We self abandon and self betray more than anyone does to us...yet we rarely see it. Wanting the pain to just go away is akin to saying you'd show up for a friend, or a small child, as long as they have no pain, no issues. The most compassionate thing we can do, is to show up for ourselves amidst the pain. That is self care. That is validation. That is having our own back. Through that process, the pain actually starts to lessen. One has to go through, not around.

    I’ve walked with a friend for over 3 years. During that time they were diagnosed CPTSD/BPD. I continue to be consistent with them and watch the patterns circle. Im in the position of knowing a incident that I believe is the root of their disorder, which is something they will never admit to a professional. This has led to behaviours over the years after, that I see are linked to this incident in the following behaviours that have led to them losing ‘normal’ self and living in a mix of isolation and power gaining interaction with others. Then remorse, self hate, inability to rationalise others. The smallest remark is seen as a personal attack and then withdrawal, depression, self distruct, not eating for days, leaving out meds for heart problem, wanting to die. I have his trust but also am in a constant push pull. He’s amazed I haven’t deserted him as all do. He wants therapy but then doesn’t engage and leaves or sleeps through video sessions. Is my constant love and acceptance helping or causing more damage? Does unconditional love break through a little by presenting to them a different approach that challenges their ‘norm’? I know he shows the real him with me rather than a pretence as he shows his long term friend whose known him since childhood and oblivious to his real personality?

    I can't tell you how your friend feels about you, but as a person with BPD who hugely struggles with self hate and overall hiding of my true self from others, I would surely appreciate someone like you in my life, even the fact you're trying to get educated about their struggles is beautiful. I'm sure they appreciate your presence in their life, please don't forget to take care of yourself as well though

    Whatever help you may choose to pursue in the future, it's important it be based on YOUR agenda. Being quiet and introverted and minimally expressive is not in of itself something wrong that needs to be corrected. Sometimes people with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum etc will present that way... but it does not ipso facto mean that if you are introverted and unexpressive that you naturally have those diagnoses. There's more to it. The real question is whether or not there is something bothering YOU that YOU want to address or work on. All treatment should be driven by your agenda. The exceptions to that are when people are engaging in severely disruptive or destructive behaviors. If you are respecting other people's rights and safety, and keeping yourself safe, and functioning, then the only question is whether or not YOU feel troubled by something and want to do anything about it.

Brown and Elliot discuss metacognition impairment, 4 types of metacognition bpd and d.i.d have the same typre of metacognition impairment and NPD has a different type. I have understand that there are four types of metacognition, but its not clear what the thought process are and what the deficits are. So can they be learned and how? Also is a person has a learning disability how would that effect treatment? is that something that is discussed in therapy?

    Hi Daniel. Thank you for all your work! Can you recommend an online DBT program to help with emotional disregulation? Although I understand why I become disregulated due to childhood trauma triggers, I continue to struggle to stay regulated with my boyfriend during conflict. I have been trying everything I can think of and watched hundreds of videos and read dozens of books, but haven’t made improvements in the area of disregulation. Thank you for any suggestions you can offer!

    Some thing I heard a Psychology Prof/ say other day.., that if ongoing untreated Depression ADHD and PTSD are not diagnosed and treated by age of 40… This can leave long term brain( mental ) damage and MAY be a contributing factor to Dementia from age 60.. I have a family member whose in this situation and who has had Sleep Apnea and extreme anxiety and Work stress for many yrs/ AND I believe this is affecting them. As well as Having a Narcissistic Disorder..! Possibly Covert.. But undiagnosed! Their memory loss is concerning.. Their Anger/ verbal Abuse / Aggressive outbursts and Outrageous Behaviour is concerning.. to one family member only! They have been refusing ANY type of treatment or therapy for 30 Odd years! They have been bringing Flying Monkeys into their life for many years as they have a very Low self esteem, these People boost their ego and they feed off these people! They also hide the real them.. So most people don’t witness their aggression! How can we get this person to receive Help.? Please? 🙏🏻🎉 So he’s not a liability to a family member as they age?

    This was great! but you didn't really cover AsPD at all? I would say the way I experience empathy is pretty high in terms of cognition (I understand why people feel the way they do etc), as well as in terms of somatic manifestation (even if I myself might not really understand or even be aware of an emotion, my body usually goes ahead and mirrors whatever people around me are feeling), I do very much lack that affective aspect of it (in other words, despite understanding the feelings of those around me, and even sometimes recreating them in myself, I still lack the compassion that would otherwise motivate me to actually do something about it to help them; like "okay? Not my problem"). There are many people who are attracted to me (even though I'm not interested in them), and I'm sure that my high EQ does contribute to my charisma as you mentioned. As an unrelated side note, I've been a long-time consumer of your content, so despite the fact that lately I've been feeding more into the maladaptive aspects of my traits such as manipulating and hurting others, I've also been quite conscious of the fact that my actions in turn hurt myself, so I'm back again for some mindfulness on my part lol. It's time to take responsibility again and try to get used to boredom again :p I think my major issue is finding that balance between having fun and being bored; I used to forbid myself from having any fun whatsoever because I'm well aware of my toxicity :p But I'm trying to find healthier ways that are still fun… I've found that if I don't have a healthy outlet for fun, I'll end up taking it out on those around me eventually. It's quite the predicament And I'm quickly losing interest and finding it difficult to stay invested in my education as well, despite the fact that I _love_ learning, and I know I'll be an exceptional nurse (once I get everything sorted out of course)
