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...

trauma worlds: navigating the hidden realms of fear and disconnection [part 2]
Embark on a profound exploration in Part 2 of the 'Trauma Worlds' series, as we navigate deeper into the concealed landscapes of the psyche where fear and disconnection warp our sense of self and reality. This episode is an invitation to uncover the veiled forces sculpting our trauma responses, guiding you through the complex interplay of biological and psychological elements that shape the intricate tapestry of internalized fear, shame, and unworthiness.
Discover the concept of 'trauma-worlds'—not as places built by traumatic events themselves but as creations at the intersection where personal experiences meet overwhelming emotions. Step into these personal yet universally understood realms to learn about the common threads that bind us in hypervigilance, disconnection, and pervasive shame, and begin the journey towards reclaiming your inner narrative.
Key Learning Points:
✧ Understand the distinction between external trauma triggers and their internal impacts, shaping our trauma-worlds.
✧ Explore the three dynamics central to all trauma-worlds: hypervigilance, disconnection, and shame, and how they distort our reality.
✧ Delve into the evolutionary roots of trauma and the crucial role of social support in mitigating its effects.
✧ Uncover the multigenerational transmission of trauma and how inherited fears and perceptions forge our own trauma responses.
✧ Encounter the profound influence of the 'Negative Mother' and 'Death Mother' archetypes on our self-perception and biological responses.
