Today we\u2019re focusing on your choice to be transparent and how it can be important in your mental health. Self-transparency. Think of it like this \u2013 if you put a lot of energy into covering up \u2013 into not allowing anyone to see your own struggles. There can be repercussions from that. You\u2019re living in fear of being known \u2013 of being seen. What are you so afraid of people seeing? And what would have to happen for you to risk transparency?

The SpeakPipe voicemail is from a listener who wants to know how she can determine her own diagnosis, if it\u2019s CPTSD or BPD. She\u2019s worried about her own kids \u2013 so I\u2019ll do my best to answer her. But let\u2019s just say \u2013 anyone who\u2019s concerned about their impact on their children already may have my vote as NOT having BPD \u2013 but we\u2019ll talk more about that dynamic.
