No Longer Denying Diagnosis Leads to Normal-ish Parenting (feat. Jennifer)
Jennifer is a marriage and family counsellor living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). She shares her personal journey, including her experiences with therapy, the importance of receiving the correct information/diagnosis in order to plan treatment, parenting, and the stigma she’s experienced. Jennifer has spent a lot of time talking to her kids in an age appropriate way about her BPD and explaining what it means. This is helpful to her so she can stop the "hand-me-down" disordered thinking. *just a note that Laurie refers to Jennifer in the episode as a counsellor rather than a therapist. That's Laurie's Canadian talking. Jennifer is a Licensed Marriage and Family THERAPIST so for the purpose of this episode please consider those to be synonymous words.* Some of the resources that helped Jennifer the most are:The books she's read to/with her kids:Meltdown Moments: Helping families to have conversations about mental health and their feelings and experiencesAn Umbrella for AlexMillie the Cat has BorderlineLizzy Lives In An Angry House: Learning to thrive in the midst of an angry environmentThe Weather House: Living with a parent with BPDThe books she's used for herself/her clients:Sometimes I Act Crazy: Living with BPDI Hate You-Don’t Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline PersonalityThe Body Awareness Workbook for Trauma - Julie Brown YauThe Courage to Heal - Bass and DavisTrauma Treatment Toolbox - SweetonThe Neurodivergent Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills - WiseAnd here are the two articles Jennifer wrote in December 2024:The Question That Ended My MarriageMy Broken Brain Breaks My Kids’ Hearts Laurie's to watch BPD documentary: A Football Life documentary about BPD hero Brandon MarshallIf you want to support the show, dive deeper into the world of super feeling and for tons of bonus content please consider subscribing to the Super Feeler patreon page.

BPD Symptoms: Unstable and Intense Interpersonal Relationships
It's week 2 of the BPD Symptoms mini series! This week, Laurie, Heather, Kat, and Shane sit down to talk about the rollercoaster of intense relationships — you know, the ones that swing between idealization and devaluation, splitting, with favorite people and kind of take over our lives.... We unpack what it’s like to move through the world with the ability to connect deeply in the first moment, the fear of losing it, and the positives and negatives of the intensity of the relationships. We talk A LOT about splitting and favorite people/persons. From family to friendships to romantic partners — including polyamorous and non-traditional setups — we reflect on what makes relationships so complicated (and so meaningful) for those of us with BPD.If you want to support the show, dive deeper into the world of super feeling and for tons of bonus content please consider subscribing to the Super Feeler patreon page.
