Tami, I can never thank you enough. Now I have hope for the first time.

the field of psychology does need some more refined principles upon which to build steadily from the ground up. there are so many different theories and techniques. if I thought I could manage it, I'd try, but it does require some genius of philosophy and the mind to get it together. good luck to whoever tackles it. the one thing I'm certain of is that beliefs are the biggest obstacle to a unified theory of psychology. it has to be based on something concrete and applicable to all humans.

Thank you. You have finally explained myself to me lol. I don't understand why therapist don't listen to us who suffer from this. Tami's explanation is perfect, why can't people listen to this and take it in? Why can't they listen to us?

Tami, its a nice video you've put up here but if you are a guy, we all know its not acceptable to wear your heart on your sleeve and be ruled by emotions as BPD so dictates.

Dear Rottencore0: Thanks for pointing that out! That is hysterical...I hope we will all get a laugh out of how I mis-spoke!

Why do families often have a child who is very emotional? Cathartic release. Many family members will feel as if they have their own emotions released vicariously through the hyper sensitive family member. I see this all the time.  And this role is rewarded by soothing from the parents until the child matures physically and causes them shame and embarrassment, leaving the child stunned and feeling abandoned. Just seems common to me.

my mom has borderline personality disorder. I find your lectures very true. I would add that in family dynamics, that sometimes, like in animal herds, a family will take on roles. One of the roles that is often reinforced is the one of the watcher. The watcher is a worrier, hyper sensitive, who is allowed by the family to be over emotional, and rewarded for being so until it causes them problems.
