About this episode

Are you a family member seeking to support and better understand someone you love who struggles with or identifies with the symptoms of borderline personality disorder? I sat down with returning podcast guest, licensed clinical social worker Catherine Humenuk to discuss how to best support and love someone who struggles with symptoms of BPD (EUPD.)

 

Questions and topics Catherine and I tackle in our discussion:

 

■ NEABPD’s Family Connections program (a free, evidence-based, 12-class course that meets for 2 hours weekly)

■ How “validation” can help someone with BPD

■ Can you take a pill to cure BPD? (exploring various medications and treatments often used for individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder)

■ Understanding BPD in teens

■ When do the first signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder develop?
