Borderline Personality Disorder  - a painful and often misunderstood diagnosis.  Often born out of intense and/or lengthy experiences of trauma and lack of secure attachment, for those who suffer, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be a source of great pain, fear, and mental and emotional instability.  For those who love someone struggling with BPD, it can feel like there\'s a "hole in the bucket," draining away the energy, trust and love they\'ve poured into their relationship with the one they love.

In this episode, frequent guest and friend, Phoebe Barron (LPC) interviews Stacee about her diagnosis and struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder and the daily mental and emotional turmoil, exhaustion, and loneliness it creates.  Doug provides some lessons learned through the years of Stacee and their family living with this diagnosis along with professional information and insights from Phoebe\'s perspective as a LPC.  

There\'s no one we\'d trust to help guide this deeply vulnerable conversation than Phoebe.  For those walking a journey with BPD and for those who love them, you will connect with this conversation and Stacee\'s experience, you will grow in empathy and compassion for those who suffer, and you\'ll hear from Stacee and Phoebe how there is hope, hope even in spite of the pain and struggle Borderline Personality Disorder creates.
