Who am I? That's a question a lot of people with borderline personality disorder find themselves asking. We're expert chameleons in ways that are really helpful but our shifting self-image can also cause a lot of distress.
In this episode, I'm joined by Dave, Kat, and Shannon to explore the BPD symptom of identity disturbance (aka unstable self-image). We talk about all of the existential questions, fears of our own inauthenticity, and the ways people with BPD often shape-shift to fit in, be accepted and survive.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
