Mahari tackles the gut-wrenching experience of being suddenly discarded in a relationship with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Mahari dives into the emotional turmoil that accompanies these breakups, offering a compassionate perspective on the fear of abandonment and the need for codependent harm reduction. A.J. shares her wealth of knowledge as a trauma recovery coach, drawing on 30 years of experience to help listeners understand why these relationships often don't work out.
