Quiet Reflections: On BPD Recovery9 Mai 2023

How does BPD develop? Understanding the causes of BPD, w/ Dr. Juliette McClendon

Content Advisory: Discussion of SI

Dr. Juliette McClendon (they/them) is a clinical psychologist trained at Harvard and Washington University. They are an expert in the delivery of evidence-based, scalable, culturally-responsive mental healthcare, and I’m pleased to have them on to offer their clinical perspective on the development, assessment, and treatment of BPD.

In this episode, Jules and I discuss these topics:

Is BPD nature, or nurture? What is the biosocial model?
Does BPD only develop from childhood trauma?
What is an invalidating environment and what can it look like?
How is BPD assessed in clinical practice?
What can different levels of care look like for people with BPD?
What are ways professionals help a patient cultivate a support system?
Why it’s okay to finish treatment and need support again later
What is splitting, how does it happen, and why do people with BPD do it?
Guilt and shame that can come after you struggle with eliminating BPD-related coping mechanisms
Why it’s important for professionals to learn to compassionately assess and decide how to help with suicidal thoughts
Why it’s important for professionals to provide referrals if they cannot provide the level of care someone w BPD requires
