Quiet Borderline Inner Persecution and Codependent Reactionary Projection

Quiet Borderline Inner Persecution and Codependent Reactionary Projection

Ever wondered why your relationship with a quiet borderline feels like an emotional rollercoaster? In this episode, A.J. Mahari, a seasoned counsellor and trauma recovery coach, dives deep into the enigmatic behaviours of those with Quiet Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and how their actions can bewilder their partners, especially those with codependency. Mahari explains that Quiet Borderlines, often part of the discouraged subtype of BPD, tend to withdraw and exhibit a fawn/freeze response when triggered.

This means they might ghost you or become unresponsive, leaving you in a state of confusion and frustration. But is it really them creating the conflict, or could it be a reaction to your own unmet needs and expectations as a codependent? Mahari suggests that understanding the internal turmoil of a Quiet Borderline can help you see that their withdrawal is more about their own pain and less about punishing you.

Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Mahari sheds light on the complex dynamics at play, urging you to reflect on your own role in these interactions. If you're struggling to make sense of your relationship with a Quiet Borderline, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice to help you navigate these challenging waters. Tune in for a compassionate and eye-opening discussion that could change the way you view your relationship dynamics.
