Two women. Two Master’s degrees in Psychology. A lifetime of BPD symptoms, bad coping mechanisms, and way too many tears , so now we laugh… a lot. We’ve walked through the fire of BPD and made it out stronger, armed with science, skills, and the occasional dark joke. Join us for unfiltered stories, the latest research, and practical strategies that actually work. It’s real talk about BPD - raw, honest, and with just enough humor to make the hard stuff easier to hear. Brought to you with love by Stephanie Schildknecht and Kerry Fisher

MBT for BPD | Why You Misread People (And How to Stop)

Why does a quiet partner at dinner instantly mean they're going to leave? Why does a friend's joke feel like a personal attack? If you have BPD, you know this spiral all too well. In this episode, we explore how Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) is a therapy designed to address the core of this exact problem, and we break down the life-changing concept of "mentalizing".
