Author, Life Coach, BPD and Mental Health Coach, A.J. Mahari talks about the central paradox at the heart of recovery from BPD. People with BPD have layered defenses against emotional pain that they do not know how to cope with. It is that very pain that must be felt, re-integrated and coped with that is at the heart of the process of recovery from BPD -- that's the paradox. For many with BPD it is a living-paradox experienced as hopelessness and helplessness. Yet, this living-paradox when it comes to BPD and specifically recovery from BPD is really a source of hope but one must first overcome his or her fear of the unknown and open up to learning to cope with their emotions.

  • When you say that your feelings didn't feel like yours...that's very much how I feel. Some of what I feel feels TOTALLY alien to me, as if I'm literally feeling someone else's feelings. And that makes me feel like I'm losing my mind, which then of course creates a ton of anxiety. It's like, "this isn't me. Why do I feel so "off" and strange. What's going on? Am I finally losing my mind?"
