About this episode
In this episode, I talk about the BPD escape clause or tendency to escape reality when life gets to be too much, too intense, too overwhelming. I also offer an antidote to the escape clause. In the Q & A, I talk about exercise and how to experience physical discomfort without panicking. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rose-skeeters/support
