43. Rethinking Borderline Personality Disorder with Britt Frank

3d ago 56:22

MP3•Episode home

Tired of the stigma and oversimplification around BPD? In this episode with trauma therapist Britt Frank, we're diving into why this controversial diagnosis deserves a complete rethinking.

In conversation, we tackle:

* Why BPD may be better understood as a response to trauma rather than a "personality disorder"

* How clinicians' fear of "difficult clients" perpetuates harmful stigmas

* The problematic gender bias in BPD diagnosis (it's diagnosed predominantly in women)

* The problem with social media creating identity around mental health diagnoses

* Why suicidality needs to be discussed openly rather than feared

* Why Britt believes recovery is possible, despite what clinical wisdom suggests

Britt Frank, MSW, LSCSW, SEP, is a clinician, educator, and trauma specialist. She is the author of the bestselling book, “The Science of Stuck.” GET HER NEW BOOK, “Align Your Mind” anywhere you get books.
