  Today's episode is a follow up from next week talking about what emotional IMMATURITY looks like.

When there's an overwhelming sense of emotional immaturity it's definitely a sign to get some support, or to distance yourself from people who might be showing up this way.

  WTF is Splitting in BPD?! (P.S. Share with your friends & families) 31.05.2026 50min

  Splitting is so highly demonized in BPD. So, like, what even is it??

Splitting often happens du...
