This episode is PART THREE of my three-part series on splitting. To have the best experience, go back and listen to episodes one and two first. ❤️
If you identify with symptoms of borderline personality disorder (also known as BPD or EUPD), it’s likely you’ve heard of “splitting.” Splitting is a defense mechanism that causes a person to view something or someone in ‘black and white’ terms (i.e., “all good” or “all bad.) If you identify with BPD, it’s likely you’re not conscious of when you’re splitting or why it happens. It’s a very painful and isolating experience. By listening to this series, you can finally become aware of these self-sabotaging patterns and become better connected to yourself and those around you.
