BPD Diaries: Stories and Science11 Jul 2025

Exploring BPD Rage

In this episode, we dive into the explosive, uncontrollable anger symptom of BPD. From internal rage, snapping over small triggers to full-blown rage that leaves guilt and shame in its wake, we explore where this anger comes from, how it ties into trauma, and what can actually help.

⛔ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses violence, and partner violence. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed.
