I really wanted to do something that was kind of authentic, where I was talking about my struggles and the fact that recovery for me, and I think for a lot of people, is just not linear.
In this episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristen Sunanta-Walker engages in a heartfelt conversation with Aline Duriaud, the creator of the podcast 'Beyond the Borderline.' Aline, an artist and mental health advocate, shares her personal journey with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and the inspiration behind her podcast. She emphasizes the importance of discussing mental health openly, much like physical health, to reduce stigma and promote understanding.
Aline's podcast, as she describes, strives to offer a hopeful yet realistic perspective on living with BPD. She acknowledges that recovery is rarely linear, marked by setbacks and progress. Through her podcast, she aims to provide listeners with practical skills, often rooted in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to manage the challenges of BPD.
The discussion also touches on the societal misconceptions surrounding BPD, often unfairly linked with narcissism, and the reluctance of some professionals to engage with individuals diagnosed with BPD. Aline's candid sharing of her experiences provides listeners with a sense of solidarity and hope, knowing they are not alone in their struggles. In addition to her podcasting work, Aline shares about her jewelry business, which started as a therapeutic endeavor and evolved into a small business.
Her creativity serves as another outlet for coping and expression, further highlighting the therapeutic power of art. The episode concludes with a mutual appreciation between Kristen and Aline, underscoring the supportive community fostered by the Mental Health News Radio Network.
