BPD Awareness Month Recovery Stories: Vasu's Beautiful Journey

I don't know about you but I disliked being called selfish and self centered and I definitely did not like being told that I lacked empathy or love for others. Those were not things I was willing to accept early in recovery. The reality was that those things were true as they are part of the diagnosis. If you want to walk with me through the steps of how to begin building an abundant life, listen in today to reorder those priorities and to gain self awareness through step two of this selfish BPD brain mini-series.
