Come along with us as Xannie, Georgette, Raf, and Lena delve deep into a raw and honest exploration of shame and how it affects people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

The Bunch delve into the complex relationship between judgment, shame, and self-defense mechanisms. They also challenge societal expectations and judgments that may not be fair, and discuss the importance of learning to embrace self-compassion and your core values.
