Mahari discusses the phenomenon of 'memory loss' in BPD, questioning if it's a genuine lapse or a strategic escape from accountability. Mahari dives into the frustrating cycle faced by those dealing with untreated BPD individuals, where evidence of wrongdoing is often met with denial and blame-shifting. She emphasises the importance of recognising projection and manipulation tactics, urging codependents to trust their own experiences and not be swayed by the deceptive narratives spun by those with BPD.
