Sara and Her Mom Sheri: Healing Through Trauma and Love

I think mom- and I mean yeah, and dad too, although he doesn't talk verbally near as much about this kind of stuff, but like she would have had the dialogue with me when I was younger, but I didn't have the skills and she didn't know what I needed, and I had a ton of shame.
Ever wondered how childhood trauma shapes relationships, especially between a mother and daughter? This episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline' offers an intimate look into the lives of host Sara Amundson and her mom, Sheri. Together, they unpack the emotional baggage that comes with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and the impact of intergenerational trauma on their bond. Sara opens up about her challenging childhood and how it affected her relationship with her mother.
Sheri tried to offer love, but it wasn't always the kind Sara needed. This mismatch led to misunderstandings and strained interactions. However, through therapy and heartfelt conversations, they've managed to mend their relationship and build a stronger connection. The duo also dives into the importance of communication in relationships affected by BPD. They share practical tips on how they've improved their dialogue to better understand each other's needs.
It's a candid discussion that sheds light on the often-hidden struggles of those living with BPD and their families. Medication and self-stigma are also on the table. Sara talks about her initial resistance to medication and how she eventually accepted it as a crucial part of her mental health journey. This segment is particularly eye-opening for anyone grappling with similar issues.
If you're looking for an honest, heartfelt conversation about trauma, love, and the complexities of mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Sara and Sheri's journey towards healing and understanding.
