Episode 9 - Sue Sibbald (BEM) the UK's leading lived experience campaigner in the field of "personality disorder"

For decades Sue Sibbald has fought to improve the experience of those who get the diagnosis of personality disorder.  She started the popular Sunday night peer support session #BPDchat on twitter and co chaired the consensus statement on 'personality disorder' which called for the label to be abandoned.  You can read the consensus statement here:

Sue has written a chapter in a recent book about these issues.  We cannot recommend the book highly enough and hope to have a few more of the chapter authors on the podcast soon.  You can get it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Working-Effectively-Personality-Disorder-Organisational/dp/1912755971
