Understanding and working with Borderline Personality Disorder
Kate Cooling wears her heart on her sleeve to share what it is like to be given the BPD label and her insights into what sits beneath the behaviours that someone with the disorder might display.
The understanding and insights that you will gain from this session will come with a renewed empathy and hope for those that you work with or care for with the disorder.
Here are just some of the subjects covered…
- what does 'borderline' mean and where does it come from?

- bipolar disorder vs borderline personality disorder
- Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) criteria and symptoms explained
- generational trauma and emotional neglect
