Ep. 200 Exploring Borderline with Meredith Redding
Borderline personality disorder is a commonly misunderstood diagnosis that has historically been used to devalue a women’s emotional life. In this episode I am delighted to have Meredith Redding back on the podcast to explore this complicated topic including its origins, the psychoanalytic perspective of borderline traits, and how we can use this diagnosis to better understand the human experience.
