Mollie: The Truth About Borderline Personality Disorder - a podcast by Dr. Courtney Tracy | The Truth Doctor

In this episode of the HUMAN First podcast, Dr. Courtney gets real about her main mental health struggle, Borderline Personality Disorder, with a fellow person with BPD, Mollie. Mollie is the host of the wildly popular BPD-focused podcast, Back From The Borderline, and the creator of the companion Instagram account, @backfromtheborderline.

Here is a list of the topics/questions they discuss:

• Mollie discusses her mission to become an emotional grown up (something so many of us need to do...)


• Realizing your parents are flawed humans like you (yikes!)


• Dr. Courtney discusses KARMA the group discussion at her old treatment center


• How BPD has been defined and how it is defined today by Mollie (so helpful!)


• Why Mollie created her podcast Back from the Borderline


• How many people have BPD and why you probably know someone who has it (spoiler: you do if you're listening to this podcast)


• The criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder from the DSM-5


• Mollie discusses how the symptoms she experiences are universal but for those who struggle with BPD are chronic (YES)


• Why it’s sometimes called "EUPD" vs "BPD"


• Molly shares her experience going to a psychiatrist and how that unfolded


• Hypersexuality and using sex as self-harm (one of Dr. Courtney's biggest self-harming techniques as well)


• Suicidal ideation as a result of undiagnosed BPD


• Medication vs Coping Skills


• Spirituality as a means of re-parenting and more of Molly’s coping skills
