In this video, I share 10 signs to help you detect whether your partner may be struggling with borderline personality disorder (or has high traits and tendencies of BPD). However, please do not try to diagnose your partner as this is an incredibly complex disorder with significant symptom overlap and co-occurring mental disorders. Instead, focus on behaviour and 1. whether your partner admits and takes responsibility for their feelings/behaviour; 2. Is taking appropriate measures to deal with their personality disorder; 3. Whether or not you are willing and able to deal with the intensity of this mental illness.
If you're ready to become manipulation-proof and break free from narcissistic abuse, this 6-week Men's Group Coaching Program will provide the support, strategies, and guidance you need to restore your power and confidence!
