BPD Made Me Build My Entire Life Around Not Being Abandoned (ft. Dan Stone)

Have you ever changed your entire personality just to keep someone from leaving?

In this episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Katja, and Solène welcome new cast member Dan for an honest conversation about BPD, foster care, relationships, parenting, treatment, and what recovery actually looks like when life is still complicated.

Dan talks about crashing after a breakup, begging and pleading, losing himself in romantic relationships, being afraid of the BPD label, and learning through two years of treatment how to build a life that feels calmer without losing the fun parts of himself.

We discuss:

* BPD and relationships

* Fear of abandonment

* Losing yourself in love

* BPD recovery

* Parenting with BPD

* Therapy for BPD

* Identity disturbance

* Dating after treatment

* Radical acceptance

* Men with BPD

If you’ve ever felt like being loved meant becoming whatever someone else needed, this episode is for you.👇 Find Dan:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/18uWfKAUMv/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danstone8484UPLOAD SCHEDULE UPDATE: BPD Bunch brunch episodes will now standalone from the season, and will be uploaded the first Sunday of every month!
