Note: This is an OG episode of BFTB. For some of my older episodes, I’ve decided to archive them and make them available only for Premium Submarines. Enjoy this throwback episode.Original episode description: If you identify with the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (also known as BPD or EUPD), it’s likely you’ve heard of “splitting.” Splitting is a defense mechanism that causes a person to view something or someone in ‘black and white’ terms (i.e., “all good” or “all bad.) This episode is part one in a three-part deep dive series on BPD splitting behaviors. If you identify with BPD, it’s likely you’re not conscious of when you’re splitting or why it happens. This can be a very painful and isolating experience. By listening to this series, you'll finally become aware of these self-sabotaging patterns and become better connected to yourself and those around you...

are mental disorders brain diseases ‘in waiting’? [preview]
Join me in this exclusive preview of this premium BFTB episode as we dive deep into the complexities of the biopsychosocial model and scrutinizes claims that label mental health conditions as diseases of the brain. Embark on a journey through the fascinating debate on mental disorders through an exploration of the words of renowned psychiatrist Joanna Moncrieff. In this episode, we question the prevailing notion that mental disorders are unequivocally brain diseases. In the article we analyze, Dr. Moncrieff challenges the rhetoric that ties conditions like schizophrenia to conclusive biological evidence, exploring the intricacies of brain imaging and behavioral patterns. Together, we’ll unravel the distinctions between brain diseases and mental disorders, focusing on the unique nature of cognitive deterioration. Tune in to deepen your understanding, challenge preconceptions surrounding the interplay between the mind and the body, and transcend traditional boundaries in psychiatry as we engage in a nuanced discussion about mental health and brain function.
