One minute, you’re the person who understands them better than anyone. The next, you’re the enemy. What causes that sudden shift?

In this episode, Dr. Kibby McMahon explains what’s commonly called “splitting” in borderline personality disorder (BPD), why intense emotions can lead someone to see themselves or the people they love as all good or all bad, and what’s happening psychologically when that shift occurs.

She also breaks down what loved ones can actually do in the moment, including how to stay grounded, validate emotions without agreeing with hurtful behavior, set boundaries, and avoid getting pulled into the same cycle. Pasted text (2)

If you love someone with BPD, intense emotions, mental illness, or addiction and you’re trying to support them without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.
