BPD and Intimacy: Learning to Trust Without Losing Yourself

BPD and Intimacy: Learning to Trust Without Losing Yourself

Have you ever confused emotional intensity with intimacy?

In this episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Justin, Andre, Carys, and Mo continue their conversation about BPD and intimacy, this time focusing on what actually helped them build healthier relationships in recovery.

They talk about fear, jealousy, abandonment panic, choosing chaotic people because stability felt boring, learning not to punish people before having hard conversations, and realizing that love does not have to feel like emotional survival.

This season, we’re discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). Under the AMPD, difficulties with intimacy are considered part of impairments in interpersonal functioning, alongside empathy. To meet criteria for BPD in this model, a person must have difficulties in at least two areas of personality functioning: identity, self direction, empathy, or intimacy, along with four or more pathological personality traits, which we’ll be discussing in more detail later this season.

Topics include:

* BPD and intimacy

* Fear of abandonment

* Trust issues in relationships

* Jealousy and BPD

* Push pull relationships

* Emotional permanence

* BPD recovery

* Healthy relationships with BPD

If you’ve ever wanted closeness while also panicking the second it started to feel real, this episode is for you.In the first two episodes of the season, Dr. Carla Sharp, Dr. Frank Yeomans, and Dr. Alex Stein explain what the AMPD is, how it changes from the current categorical model, and how the BPD diagnosis is changing. ⸻ 🌟 Love what we do?
