    I like that he uses the word 'condition' rather than the word 'disorder'. At 1:51.

    Not acting instantly on impulsive urges is starting to pay off for me. Life is not great but it is much less chaotic. I was lucky enough to have Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which has really helped and there are some good books out there. Thanks for an optimistic video.

    Thank you for stating the truth about BPD!!! A lot of clinicians and laypeople believe that people with BPD are like demons. That is not the case. And as you stated it is a spectrum. Thank you for giving people with BPD hope!!!

    I'm glad that the interview with Frank Yeomans was helpful. It certainly is my hope that the videos here will not only educate us but make us feel a sense of empowerment over our disorder. Speaking with him gave me so much hope for us living with BPD. Wishing you well on your journey and thanks so much for your comment!

    I've felt shamed-based my whole life just from the diagnosis alone. It's hard to overcome being more ashamed of the diagnosis than the disorder. Finding these KZread communities has helped!🙏🏼

    Just something that helped me a lot is the Myers Briggs ( most commonly used personality test). This helped me to see myself clearly for the first time ever... Over this last year I have a stable sound sense of self.... It's very empowering , brings much self knowlledge and the clarity to see others realistically ..understanding all the different thinking styles help defeat ridgidity

    It is so frustrating watching these videos. Treatment for BPD is close to non-existent outside major cities. Geography determines your quality of life. Clinicians and therapists have little if any training even though the incidence of BPD is greater than schizophrenia and Bi-Polar combined. State professional standards boards are a joke when therapists do exactly as he described; reject the positive focus on the negative, exit patient care because of "difficulties", and do zero to transition client to new therapist or shrink.

    It's so true. I think especially if parents never expect a child to stop acting out that could cause someone to grow up and think that they can't control themselves especially when the parents were the triggers to begin with.

    This attitude applies to so many conditions in Medicine, if not all! Health care professionals, do not let your biases make your patients become disabled people by default. First, do no harm. Visualize their potential, communicate realistic hope. This also aligns with a famous speech by Viktor Frankl. Doctors’ words (just like parents’ remarks or judges’ sentences) are the most impactful medicine.

    In DBT they call this not “Fragilizing” the client, perpetuating the idea that they can’t do what needs to be done. Impulsivity is described as a “skills deficit” not as not being able to “muster self control.”

    I believe that the people who get to find a clinician or therapist like this doctor are very lucky. I have never been that lucky. I got diagnosed with BPD after two adult very traumatic "moments", and after an knitial diagnose of schizophrenia, just because I reported malignant psychological abuse in my laboral space. All my therapist did was beguilting me and ghosting. Even worse he shared personal information of mine with gjird parties, violating all confidentiality rules. And the psychiatrist took me, but with a great deal of concern not even allowing sesions in his office, only online!

    Right on the mark...I have to cope with these types who have chose to use this method of dealing with life, and I start with my belief that they can exercise self-control and just need to try, step by step. Also when they see they cannot get the response they want from me, they leave me alone

    Have someone tried to scan borderline brains, especially the prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex? There is definitely a problem to control impulses and these parts of the brain are responsible for impulse control I believe so. Also, have someone compared the brains of strong addicts and borderlines? Are there any similarities in the brain matter in certain parts that are responsible for impulse control? Of course, borderline can start to learn to control very strong impulses, they just need to believe it that there is a chance to do it. Slowly slowly the neocortex will take over the reptilian and emotional brain turmoil which created its own entities.

    They need to grow up...stop parentifying those around them...stop expecting others to take care of them and ADULT at the age-appropriate level they should be at in life. People with BPD want a perfect-parent. They need to become their own parent and stop projecting that demand onto others.
