Surviving BPD & Sexual Assault - The BPD Bunch S6E6

What happens when the pain of trauma from sexual assault collides with the struggles of borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

Join Xannie, Katja, Madhurima and André in this vulnerable episode as we discuss the harrowing experiences of individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) who have faced the trauma of sexual assault. With raw honesty, the Bunch share their stories, revealing the complexities of their emotions, the challenges of healing, and the importance of community support.

This episode is a safe space for those who feel isolated in their struggles, offering insights and encouragement. If you or someone you know is navigating these difficult waters, tune in to discover that you are not alone.

Note: While we will discuss the emotional impact and experiences related to these issues, we will not go into graphic detail about the assaults themselves.

April 30th we'll be back to talk about BPD in TV and Movies. Can't wait until then? Sign up for our "BPD Buddies" or "BPD Besties" tiers on Patreon to get early access to an exclusive extended cut of next week's episode NOW!
