AVERY WILL RETURN IN 2025
Thank you for all of your incredible support while I've navigated many personal challenges and changes in 2024.
Your recovery journey is calling...
All you have to do is listen.
📞🌱
You got this.
Wherever you are on your journey, I would love to hear from you.
Quiet, Not Silent is a podcast dedicated to exploring recovery while living with Borderline Personality Disorder.
I'm Avery (they/them), and I live with quiet (discouraged) BPD. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2019 at 24 years old. After reading about Millon's subtypes, I was finally able to understand the way I had been coping with this mental health condition.
The subtypes have been an effective describing tool for many people with BPD to better explain their own experiences and coping mechanisms. After all, no two people experience BPD the exact same way.
Since 2021, I've been compelled to break the silence that stigma traps us in, and speak up on my experiences with this hidden subtype.
So, here I am: quiet, not silent.

In Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), the fourth and final module - known as Interpersonal Effectiveness - teaches you skills to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and maintain relationships while achieving your personal goals. If you'd like to take this exact course, here's a 25% discount code you can use on your deposit - just cause you listen to my pod. (QUIETBPD25)
Many people with BPD have a tendency to think in polarized ways, referred to as black and white thinking, or “splitting”, in the sense that you’re split right down the middle and can only think on one side or the other - no in-between. In our relationships, we often subconsciously engage in idealization and devaluation: coping responses to a fear of abandonment.
This week is all about Dialectics: the foundation of DBT. Dialectics refer to the concept that two opposing things can BOTH be true at the same time. That there is no one OR the other. That there is instead, a Yes, AND.
Thank you to Roland, Alicia, Jesse, and the TheraHive team for having me try out this course!
