Have you ever been so angry at someone that hurting them felt completely justified?

From holding grudges for years to deliberately targeting someone’s insecurities, they share the behaviors they once defended and the damage those behaviors caused.

If you’ve ever looked back at something you did in anger and wondered how you convinced yourself it was okay, this conversation is for you._____This season, we’re discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD).
