Happy BPD Awareness Month 🤍
If you had asked me when I first started my master's program if I would ever finish school, or my entire life, I would have replied no. At the time, it was impossible to complete a single day, let alone a whole course load.

Nonetheless, my master's program gave me inspiration. It provided me more courage to speak up to my colleagues about my mental health and various parts of my life. When asked why we wanted to become therapists, I always answered honestly.

Private discussions from students and colleagues ensued, in which they disclosed their partners, family, clients, and even their diagnosis, and I received notes from them expressing how much they needed my honesty and how much I helped them. I am convinced that increasing understanding and developing sustainable ways of life begins with honesty in our communities, businesses, classrooms, and within ourselves.

At times, the journey was rather upsetting. But it was also inspiring. When we talk about Marsha Linehan and the concept of creating "a life worth living," I believe we can see how this route has done exactly that for me. It has led me to a greater purpose.The more I develop, the more I realize there is only one way forward for me: to meet myself honestly and freely, and to believe in myself enough to continue and never give up.

Happy BPD Awareness Month 🤍

I often say that people with BPD may all be different, but we share a secret bond that not everyone will understand. A language of hurt, recognition, and understanding.

We’ve lived a thousand internal lives while trying to survive just one external one. We don’t just wake up; we choose to stay.

I’m over 10 years into my recovery, and I don’t sugarcoat it: recovery is not linear.

For me, I don’t believe in a “cure” or in “getting over it.” I believe in learning how to live. In fighting. In building a life worth living, even when it feels impossible.

And beyond all of that, I believe this: whether you have BPD or not, we are all a little or a lot broken in our own ways. But the brave ones are the ones who keep going!

Love with BPD is not a single story, and it was never meant to be. It can be intense, complicated, beautiful, and deeply human all at once. There is no universal timeline, no perfect way to show up, and no rulebook that guarantees success or failure. What matters is the willingness to learn, communicate, repair, and grow both individually and together. Relationships are not found fully formed, they are built slowly through trust, effort, and emotional safety. Progress is possible. Stability is possible. Love is possible, even when it feels unfamiliar.

I had a great conversation with the founder of Life Collective Counselling on his podcast Relationship Factor, where we talked about life, marriage, BPD, intimacy, relationships, and much more. Grateful to be invited and to connect with such an insightful and inspiring host. Really appreciated the conversation and the work he’s doing.

If you’ve ever found yourself rereading an email multiple times, feeling anxious after receiving minor feedback, or feeling drained from workplace social interactions… you’re not alone.

Having a sensitive nervous system is not a weakness; it simply requires clarity, safety, and the appropriate tools.

Progress at work can be subtle yet still significant. Recognizing your unique needs and honouring your feelings can lead to a more fulfilling work experience. By implementing strategies that promote self-care and establishing boundaries, you can thrive in your environment while maintaining your sensitivity as a strength.

Life can feel unbearably heavy at times, and the journey of healing is often filled with heartache and uncertainty. Some may find that their struggles with impulsivity, anxiety, and depression linger long after they hope for relief, leaving them feeling isolated and weary. It's important to acknowledge that every person's path is unique, and while some may experience gradual improvements, others may feel stuck in a cycle of pain. In these moments, it's okay to sit with your sadness, to let it wash over you, and to remember that even in the darkest times, you are not alone. Your healing is not a one-size-fits-all. It’s your practice, your life, your journey. And every step forward matters. 💛

Suppressing your feelings may have some benefits, but it can also harm your relationships with loved ones. The first step towards change is acknowledging your desire for it. For people who are keeping their feelings to themselves, telling the truth, either to themselves or to a close friend or family member, can change their lives. By openly discussing your feelings, you foster deeper connections and cultivate greater understanding and support. Sharing your struggles not only alleviates the burden of isolation but also encourages others to share their feelings, creating a more open and nurturing environment. This exchange can significantly transform relationships, facilitating healing and growth for both parties. Ultimately, embracing vulnerability enriches our personal lives and builds a community where empathy and compassion can flourish.

Trusting yourself starts with trusting your instincts. It’s an internal shift. It’s the moment you learn to override the old voices that make you doubt your power.

Stand in your confidence and remind yourself:
“I am capable. I can attract anything I want and the life I want for me.”

This isn’t about indecision. It’s about intentionality. You may feel sadness. You may feel disconnected. And it’s okay to acknowledge that grief. But never forget this truth: you are allowed. You are allowed, fully and completely.

When you stop trying to fit into the old molds, you’ll begin to spread your wings like the butterfly you are. You’ll create new, fulfilling connections. You’ll build a life that feels rich and aligned.

Allow yourself to be the gift you were born to be. Your life is here to be lived.

I had the privilege of engaging in a meaningful dialogue with Andrea Paquette, the founder of the Stigma-Free Mental Health Society. We explored the significance of maintaining an open heart in a challenging world and discussed how healing necessitates a balance of both gentleness and resilience.

During our conversation, we reflected on my ten-year journey of confronting stigma and promoting hope on a global scale, underscoring the profound resilience, compassion, and courage required in mental health advocacy.

There are moments in life when surrender is the wisest choice. Surrender is not a sign of failure, but rather an act of deep faith in something greater than myself. Surrender is not passive. It is powerful. When I step back from chaos and release the need to control outcomes, I create space for real change to unfold.

As I loosen my grip, something profound shifts within me. I stop wrestling with life. I stop gripping the reins so tightly. I soften. And in that softening, I discover a strength that force could never access.

When I allow life to transform me, the change reaches places control never could. I trade anxiety for clarity, tension for truth, and frustration for a calm, grounded joy. Each transformation becomes a turning point, a quiet revolution within.

And through this work, alongside my clients and the wider world, I hope we remember that true strength is not found in fighting each other or resisting life itself. It is found in walking together, guided by love, toward what is real.

Gaining an understanding of your thoughts is the first step in regaining control of your feelings, relationships, and sense of who you are as a person. It is possible to begin to question and replace destructive beliefs with more positive ones once you have gained an awareness of the thought patterns that you have been engaging in. Your mental health will improve over time as a consequence of this change, and the quality of your relationships will improve as well. In the end, developing your self-awareness gives you the ability to face the challenges that life throws at you with strength and self-assurance. This shift has the potential to further your personal development and improve the quality of your relationships if you maintain an open mind about it.
