Last week, I had an intense and enlightening discussion on BPD & Addiction on the Recovered Life Show. In this After the Show segment, I was joined by Kennedy McGurkin, a therapist and the owner of Returning to Self LLC. This conversation was raw, real, and necessary—diving into the intersection of borderline personality disorder (BPD), addiction, codependency, and recovery.
Facing the Fear Around BPD
I’ll be honest—this was a topic that made me nervous. As a streamer, I’ve encountered many individuals struggling with BPD and addiction, and at first, I didn’t know what I was looking at. It felt like drama, chaos, and unpredictability. But over time, I began to understand that what seemed like manipulation was really a deep fear of abandonment playing out in real time.
