I left my (1 yr. ago diagnosed, untreated) BPD partner of 5 years (3+breakups) for the final time. I have been struggling for understanding, information, and help with what I have been going thru, how to not go back & understand my part in all of it and my healing process. It wasn’t until I found A.J.’s podcast and website that my healing began and life changed for the better. She clearly knows her topic. I appreciate how she explains things and her personality. She teaches things with depth and accuracy on topics that I felt or wondered or figured out by trial/error/solo. She sheds a deeper light and understanding on so so so many things I have tried to understand, and experienced, over the years in my relationship but couldn’t. I literally cry almost every episode at how “understood” I finally feel. A.J., thank you for what you do!! You have literally been my biggest strength to healing.

In the aftermath of a devastating relationship and messy breakup, I stumbled across AJ’s podcast. I had suspected my ex had BPD and that I had some flaws that made me susceptible to BPD manipulation. This podcast validated my suspicions. Without ever having met me or my ex, AJ described our relationship with uncanny accuracy. She gave me the certainty and courage I needed to go full no-contact and begin my recovery process. My entire life had collapsed by this point. I came to understand the true nature of this toxic relationship and the root causes in me that led me back for more and more punishment. I’m now working directly with AJ to put myself back together. I seriously don’t know if I would still be alive if I hadn’t found this. Thank you, AJ.

I came to this in the middle of a break up. I couldn’t describe my experience more clearly. I am in therapy for my codependency and I NEVER went back!

And her truth is spot on. This podcast helped me more than I had ever expected. She consistently redirects the focus of the codependent while lending understanding to the dynamic and behaviors of both the Co-D and the BPD. Great, educated, insightful information. Everyone will not be ready to receive this but it is well worth the discomfort.

She is spot-on with the BPD torment experienced by the partner.

I finally found a resource that mirrored exactly what I’m going through currently with my BPD partner and it has saved my sanity and validated all of what I’m feeling and experiencing. Thank you AJ!

This is a little dense, maybe just for me. A lot of content to process
I felt like this is an analysis of a scene out of my family room and endless iterations with my wife of 35 years
Understanding now that My hope for recovery is hopeless and I need to move on. I tried low contact and that is not working - recycling is a great word. Or as an old programmer being caught in a loop
Only thing I am experiencing that is not mentioned is the threat of suicide
Something that seems to be holding the family hostage
Great stuff not good stuff
I am going to listen again

You helped me move on from my bpd ex who broke my heart, manipulated m, gaslighted me, hurt me.
I had the worst relationship in my life with-him.
Thank you so much Aj.

The host is amazingly knowledgeable about borderline. I’ve been married to a borderline wife for 21 years and I am a bit of a codependent. EVERYTHING she says in EVERY episode so far has resonated with me. I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts who claim to know a lot about borderline but it’s like she’s been watching our entire marriage and taking extensive notes, although I do hope she eventually looks into marijuana and alcohol use with borderlines.

I specifically searched for borderline break ups because the last year of my life has essentially been everything described in this podcast .It was with a man who turned on me on a dime for no reason and blamed me -Every behavior described is exactly what I’ve dealt with - it drove me crazy depressed and questioned myself. I’ve spent every hour of every day trying to figure out how to reason with him and how to say things right. This is the biggest breath of fresh air to understand that it isn’t me- it is a disorder. Thank you so much for this I’ve listen to every episode and can’t wait for more. It is ultimate healing and understanding.
