I love, love, love this conversation

Kayla is a Youtuber and psychotherapist in training and has a beautiful channel called On the Line on YouTube. After receiving her own diagnosis, she set out to educate others about this often misunderstood mental disorder

There are many psychologists and experts who talk about BPD, but I was drawn to Kayla and wanted to talk to her because she is so open and clear in how she presents the information, and because she has had a unique journey of having BPD and is now on her way to becoming a therapist!!!!

We talked about many topics that are not often discussed publicly, such as

- What is quiet BPD? What are the subtypes of BPD?

- Is Borderline Personlaity Disorder a diagnosis or an identity?

- Can you become a therapist if you have had BPD?

- BPD empathy paradox - I think it's a misconception that people with BPD lack empathy, why is that? Do people with BPD have high or low empathy?

You can tell I was really engaged throughout the whole conversation, I feel blessed to be able to share Kayla’s journey with you. I hope you will get something from this!!

Thank you.
