| The Mental Health System Has Broken Me (feat. Ashley) | 16 oct. 2026 | 00:55:28 | |
Ashley shares her experience navigating a complicated intersection of trauma, substance use, homelessness, and the systems that are supposed to help but fail us time and time again. We talk about substance use, including being three years clean from meth, fentanyl, and heroin, and the realities of trying to survive while experiencing homelessness in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). While this isn't a true crime podcast it's virtually impossible to explain the DTES without talking about Canada's most prolific serial killer Robert Pickton and his ability to get away with as many as 49 murders of women that police agencies didn't care to look for or investigate - despite having ample evidence pointing right to him. If you are interested in a thorough deep dive I recommend the book On the Farm: Robert William Pickton and the Tragic Story of Vancouver's Missing Women. The stories of these women cannot be forgotten - nor can the countless women, especially Indigenous women, who go missing across Canada to this day for whom justice is never found.

| Understanding Self-Harm Through a Sensory Lens (feat. Maggie) | 21 août 2026 | 01:08:56 | |
Dr. Maggie Flynn is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy specializing in psychiatric care. She explores how sensory-based interventions can transform our understanding and support for people engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (aka self harm) and those living with BPD. Together, we unpack the history and evolving role of occupational therapy in psychiatric settings, including how sensory modulation and planning for specific sensory activities throughout one's day can support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and limit behaviours like self-harm. Maggie shares innovative perspectives on understanding self-harm through the lens of unmet sensory needs, challenging common assumptions and stigma often faced by people with BPD. Check out the Skills Lab follow up email about self-soothing to get lots of ideas and resources made by Super Feelers for Super Feelers. The email includes Maggie's full slide deck!

| Family Stories: The Cost of Not Being Told About Your Diagnosis (feat. Hilary Cassady) | 15 mai 2026 | 00:58:08 | |
When I read about Maya and Hilary's story in the news my heart sank. I didn't even have to finish the article to know that borderline personality disorder misunderstanding and stigma was at play. In this episode Hilary (Maya's mom) shares about the ways in which Maya's mental health changed, the help she tried to get, and the final days of her life where the combination of her mistrust of the health system and a subsequent FOI of her records led her to believe there was no hope left. It was that day that she tragically took her own life. Together, we explore Maya’s journey and the realities of navigating a system where critical information wasn’t fully seen, shared, or understood and the profound impact of hidden or missed diagnoses, and how a lack of communication across providers and supports can change the course of so many lives.

| BPD Symptoms: ICD Criteria | 12 déc. 2025 | 01:00:02 | |
Well it's officially our final episode of the BPD Symptoms Series! In this episode we technically aren't talking about DSM criteria for borderline personality disorder but instead we're talking about the different diagnostic model that is used primarily outside of North America. We specifically talk about the concept of having a severity scale/continuum for personality disorders and the potential pros and cons for people living with BPD. We also dive into three symptoms that aren't in the DSM that we find particularly interesting: 1. A view of self as bad, inadequate, guilty and contemptible 2. A sense of alienation and loneliness 3. Rejection sensitivity, problems with trust, misinterpretation of social signals. And of course as we wrap up the series we get all mushy about how much fun we've had and how much we love each other.

| The Impact of Intergenerational Trauma on BPD (feat. Gwen) | 04 déc. 2025 | 00:58:43 | |
Gwen's story is one that many Super Feelers can relate to. With many generations of complex trauma that impacted each generation in different ways, she came to the realization that the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) go back at least as far as her maternal grandmother, her mother and now herself. BPD isn't an excuse for behaviours, it's an explanation - something that Gwen has had to come to terms with while learning more about the disorder, herself, and what it means to live as a Super Feeler with BPD. Gwen was recently featured on a brand new documentary style podcast all about mental health called Brain Stories. Listen to her episode there to get even more about her story in a really beautiful storytelling format on your favorite podcast platforms or by clicking here.

| BPD Symptoms: Self Harm | 28 nov. 2025 | 01:07:41 | |
Self-harm is something that the majority of people with BPD experience at some point in their lives (prevalence estimates range from 50-80+%). We decided to separate suicide and self-harm for the purposes of this mini series because the two things are often conflated and are actually super distinct phenomena. Together we explore our personal experiences with self-harm, how they different from suicidality, and how we've learned healthier coping mechanisms. Throughout our discussion we emphasizes the importance of harm reduction and the need for understanding and compassion in addressing self-harm (aka don't freak out if someone is self-harming. That doesn't help). Please listen to this episode with care. While we usually don't talk about self-harm methods on the podcast we did briefly in this conversation.

| BPD Symptoms: Dissociation | 14 nov. 2025 | 00:58:40 | |
Dissociation is one of the hardest to explain BPD symptoms. It looks different for everyone and sometimes we don't even know when we are in a dissociated state. In this episode Laurie, Shane, Shannon and Kat discuss the complexities of dissociation by sharing our personal experiences and insights on how dissociation manifests and impacts us. We also explore how dissociation is often times a coping mechanism stemming from complex traumatic experiences and the fine line between it being a helpful protective factor and a "symptom" to be a target of change.
