, “A shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.” Carl Jung. It just makes me shake my head. Traditional thinking has to categorize people because thats what clinical minds do. They have charts, graphs, columns, lists that describe a set of behaviors and then they assign a label then they stick that label on your forehead and stigmatize you with it. Dont buy it. I just read a great article by a very wise psycho-therapist that said that so called BPD is neither a disease nor a choice. Your brain works the way it does because it was trained to. Biological sensitivity meets invalidation and in some of our cases trauma. There is no one fix for any person and certainly long term drug use has proven to be an unhealthy and a sometimes dangerous route. It certainly hasnt healed anyone. We see so-called ‘borderline’ people contextualized—extremely hurt, traumatized people set up against 4,000+ years of a derogatory cultural narrative of feminine madness. Again, staying away from simplistic binary thinking, Brent Potter, PHD. So think for yourself and be pro-active in the journey of healing. We are all different. Dont just leave it in the hands of so-called experts. You know what feels right. Trust it.
