I love the podcast. It’s really helped me heal on my journey with this recent diagnosis. However, I wish they’d be more careful with the language they choose to use. Rose often describes bpd behavior as horrible or awful and I don’t think that’s helpful to people who have recently come upon their diagnosis who are only doing their best with the tools they currently have. There’s no need for added shame. Also, just because we have bpd doesn’t mean we’re automatically wrong about something but rather need to learn to communicate our feelings properly.

I am a mom of a 16 year old daughter, who checks all the boxes for BPD. Raising her has been bumpy and chaotic since she was 5 due to her hyperbolic temperament. Through the years the behaviors have become riskier and more destructive with many diagnosis, therapy, and hospital visits. Our relationship has deteriorated, which brought me to many support groups and books on BPD. Non of which gave me hope as a mom. It wasn’t until I was introduced to this podcast that I feel I’m being educated as to what my daughter experiences. I have listened to every episode from the beginning to 2023. I, myself, am developing my moral compass and will soon begin a vision board as I experience my own recovery as her mother. I struggle to remain hopeful for my daughters recovery and our relationship to mend. I am just now learning about the B2B community. I will need to continue to listen and navigate how to stay connected as I have so many questions as a parent of a teen with BPD. Thank you, Rose. I get ready in the mornings listening to you. I take you to work and on dog walks almost daily. You’d be glad to know that I exercise and clean my house with you as well. While I’m not sure my husband and I can afford on-going coaching sessions, I continue to find myself thinking that we are at a point where we should hear what you’d say to us if you knew our story. You may hear from us very soon.❤️

After finding out my partner of almost two decades had BPD, I was struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I stumbled upon Rose’s podcasts and listened to them all. After listening to her podcasts for over a year, I got brave and booked a session. That was over a year ago. I meet with Rose weekly, to help me become a better version of myself while attempting to relate to my spouse. Rose has helped me understand the disorder and has given me hope. She has helped me understand sensitivity in my children due to genetics and I feel I have become a better person. She is a straight shooter. I’ve been to years and years of therapy, and I have never had anyone as honest and forthright at Rose. She does not beat around the bush. I desperately needed that when I found her. She, and this podcast, is a game changer and worth every penny. I am so grateful to have this resource and more than anything I’m grateful for ROSE.

Rose is not only extremely knowledgeable and amazing at what she does, but she is also incredibly compassionate, discerning, patient, and kind. Each episode leaves me feeling so encouraged and excited about my recovery journey. I also work with Rose one-on-one every week and she has helped me in my journey immensely. Before I started working with her, I felt like I didn’t have the necessary tools to navigate my way through emotions, tough situations, baggage, and so on. But together, we have worked through so many things, and for the first time I truly feel like I have hope, and I can see my way out. Rose really really cares for people and that is so evident in her work. I highly respect and trust her and will continue to recommend her to anyone everyone!

She raises so many red flags in just 2 episodes. Jordan Peterson. Dissing of DBT. I get disingenuous vibes from her all around. I

After listening to the podcast for a few months, I began meeting with Rose and it has now been over a year—one of the best decisions I made for myself and my well-being! Rose and the podcast have both tremendously helped me improve my quality of life, my self identity, confidence, and ability to feel comfortable on my own. Rose frequently gives me tailored homework assignments that often include art and they aid me in healing my inner child among other things. I love Rose’s honesty and “tough love”, it is definitely something my previous therapists never gave me that I need at this point in my life. Above all, I can truly tell that Rose cares about me, her clients, and podcast listeners. I’m forever grateful and highly recommend the podcast! Thank you! <3

This 5 star rating and review are long overdue! I found this podcast about a year ago in March 2022. Although there has not been an official diagnosis thus far I have a close relationship with someone who I suspect could have BPD. I have been baffled by this loved one’s behavior many times. I read a shelf of books on the topic and spoke with some experts all of which was educational and helpful. But there is nothing like hearing Rose’s personal journey and the experiences of some of her clients to help make more sense of the situation and hopefully be able to be of more support and just a better friend. Thank you Rose for this podcast and Jay too! I have listened to every episode with fascination and I plan to continue to do so.

This podcast is the absolute best! If you have BPD, if you are trying to help or understand someone with bpd I highly recommend giving these episodes a listen. Rose has worked with me and changed my life, she opened my eyes to things I wouldn’t have seen on my own.

I started working with Rose in 2021 through the groups she offers. To this day my group and I still meet now in 2023 because of the impact Rose had on us. I would not be where I am today with my mental health recovery and journey if it was not for the ways Rose stepped in. She is honest, truth focused, and compassionate to the throws that come with BPD. She WILL be honest with you and if you are not committed to recovery and growth, the feedback can be strong. Not because she is wrong, but because the disorder can make you feel very sensitive to hard truths. She is committed to re-establishing your identity. From a mindset of BPD is my identity... to this is a disorder I live with, but does not define me. My experience is that labels can become scapegoats to excuse bad behavior, and Rose helps to breakdown that mindset. For the sake of the individual and their loved ones who are by their side in recovery. With the help of Rose she helped me escape a really unhealthy marriage, and exposed light into dark places that I and my family will forever be grateful for. To this day I still work with Rose and find that her insight, encouragement, and kindness continues to be a breath of fresh air.

The podcast is fine, and has some fine, even helpful information. But please, at all costs, DO NOT meet with Rose personally. Rose has BPD and has taken on the identity of Jay, her husband and “coach”. She is not recovered from BPD. I am a former client of rose. I met with her for months. I built trust with her. Rose went behind my back and spoke with my partner about things we talked about in session. She did not tell me about their contact before she spoke with them. Rose then forcefully “suggested” that I have a session with them. I told Rose I didn’t think it was a good idea. She insisted. I went to the session and did not handle myself well. I became overwhelmed quickly. Rose wanted me to repeat a specific phrase that she was saying. She kept saying, “you need to say this “________”, you need to say this.” I did not feel comfortable repeating the words, or saying anything really, and kept asking, why? I had concern that my words were going to be used against me later on in that session. She then told me that if I couldn’t say the simple phrase, because of her business model, that she couldn’t coach me any more. *as a rule* If any therapist, coach or religious leader tells you that you must do or say something that you don’t feel comfortable doing or saying, or they are going to quit on you, please report them and never work with them again. This behavior is tyrannical, and unethical and clearly shows that Rose is still struggling with BPD. Listening to the podcast can help you if you are actively struggling. The information in the podcast is curated and edited. However, meeting with Rose and believing that she can help you, when she is actively struggling with BPD is dangerous and manipulative, and if you let it go on long enough, it can become abusive. TL;DR: Rose has BPD and without Jay in the room she will get triggered in session with you. The podcast is fine, but do not meet with Rose.

While looking for resources after being diagnosed with BPD I found this podcast. I listened to the first three episodes and noticed many red flags. Not only was Jordan Peterson quoted, but I was left feeling far more ashamed and scared of this disorder than prior to listening.

This podcast helped me feel less alone and gave priceless input on relationships relating to BPD. Please recommend this to people struggling with Borderline first hand or those in relationship to. Stigma around BPD creates so much loneliness and inaccurate information or lack thereof. This podcast has given me hope about moral compass work and how I can build a foundation for healthy relationships (along with other appropriate professional help). The insider approach of this podcast was like a breath of fresh air. Thank you Rose and Jay.

Rose presents science based information that helps make sense of BPD and offers the prospect of living a life worth living. She doesn’t pull any punches. She explains regularly the biology and the social origins of BPD and provides a compassionate roadmap to harnessing big emotions in a doable way. You walk away feeling like you’ve been given a toolbox and a nudge to use the tools. This podcast is excellent for everyone. If you love someone with BPD you’ll learn a lot. Listen regularly so you don’t miss any little gems!

I was searching for Borderline personality disorder podcasts last year in hope of some help. Rose and her husband deliver, I have spent a lot of time listening to past podcasts and appreciate all of the information that she has put into her show. I highly recommend giving this a listen and using it as a part of a wider toolset on anyones path to recovery. Much love.

Really enjoy this podcast

I started out really enjoying the conversation until host Rose casually mentioned watching a Jordan Peterson YouTube video. He’s a transphobic bigot so I had to turn it off.

I really like this podcast. But, I think because Rose has BPD herself she makes it sound like everything will be fine if you go to therapy. Actually- it’s SUPER hard for a BPD to ever fully be normal. Anyway, really good podcast but please be more realistic as BPD is a SERIOUS personality disorder. And it involves 15 years of consistent therapy to even MAYBE work. This is a personality disorder not a chemical one where you can just pop lithium in and be done with it.

If you listen enough to all the podcast you will realise that it’s just Rose saviour/husband/Coach/everything’s thoughts you are listening to who does not even BPD himself. Rose just took his identity because she has BPD and she still struggles to find her own identity.

I have had so many good days since I started listening that sometimes I’ll just put this on in the background Thank you Rose & Jay

As the partner of a pwBPD this podcast as been eye opening and gave us a chance at saving our relationship. The very first season especially was absolutely game changing for us. As for the addition of Jay, I appreciate some of what he says but he does come across as somewhat narcissistic. Rose is always lifting him up but as I listen it seems he talks down to her, especially in more recent interactions when they partner up in business. The fact that Rose defers to him to be “CEO” as she points out in the podcast, was unnerving as SHE is the one with the education, training and expertise & the one we’ve come to trust. And as the partner of a pw BPD his arrogance is not helpful to me. I hope I am misreading things. It’s great that this works for their relationship but I am not sure that is a healthy model for everyone. A little humility is everything.

Seriously, my husband and I will do yard work together while listening. A new term frequently used in our home now is “moral compass” These two are on to something.

I love this podcast very informative . Keep up the good work

I really like what she is saying in some of her podcasts since I can relate to a lot of it.However, what I am hearing (could be totally different than what is being said) is to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and make the choice to be different. Now in all honesty I don’t know if this upsets me because it seems so overwhelming and so it’s easier for me to judge this as nonsense OR if it’s really the only way to lasting change and I know it and don’t think I am capable…..

Rose Skeeter’s podcasts are exceptional because she is willing to share her own personal mental health challenges/life stories woven into current, relevant techniques in psychology/therapy. She has empowered me to take responsibility and be a better me. Thank you so much!

I feel like I’m getting years worth of therapy from listening to your podcast. It speaks volumes to the importance of having someone who understands BPD help you. Unfortunately, it also lets me know most therapists do not know how to treat people with BPD.

this podcast has given me so many tools and has called me out on my behaviors like I know I need to be this has truly changed my life as I reparent myself and follow my own moral compass

Hey Rose, I have a question for you. My biggest struggle is meeting my partners sexual needs bc the sexual trauma of my past causes me to kinda recluse when we start heating up. There are times I can be very adventurous and then others I’m repulsed by the thought of sex. This is my biggest hurdle right now. I feel like I’ve recovered from my bpd behaviors and mindset but the sexual part of my life seems stuck in bpd mode. Please help!

I am a a therapist and I often get clients with BPD. This podcast has been a breath of fresh air in terms of providing hope for recovery. I don’t feel bad being honest with clients anymore regarding manipulative behavior and not know it’s the best thing I can do for them.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar I & BPD. I am first generation, born into a family who did not understand me or wanted to understand me. Therefore I have been lost, stumbling around, looking for help and answers. Finally! I have found the help and information I’m looking for. I am so grateful for this podcast for helping me on my journey to recovery. Thank you SO much!

I wish she would talk about difficult things like tyranny with more empathy and understand how for ppl with bpd the attitude is very impulsive and difficult to stomp out. Bpd people don’t like an understanding of how their actions affect their relationships, they’re not sociopaths.

Words can’t describe how valuable and helpful this Podcast has been for me. Please don’t stop!

What Rose is doing here is truly remarkable. Other than DBT manuals, there are so few resources out there that help people with BPD to take tangible steps to improve their lives and overcome this disorder. Rose lays it all out here and it’s also great that it’s coming from someone who was diagnosed with (and overcame) BPD because she really understands how our brains work. She’s also super honest while being compassionate which is what we BPDers really need when confronting ourselves and the work we need to do ;) thanks so much Rose! I’m so happy I found your podcast!

I have been deeply working on my BPD for over a year now and this podcast has helped me MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE! I love this podcast and am so proud of you Rose!!

This podcast is saving my life right now

I have been looking for a podcast about how to best be a supportive partner to a family member with BPD and was super impressed as I started listening to the episode with Jay describing what it’s like for him. I’m a scientist and appreciated the rational, logical way Jay and Rose both talked about their experiences. But then Jay offers the ludicrous explanation that he can control his emotions because “I’m a man.” So I replayed it to be sure I heard him right, played it again to entertain my husband who was also incredulous (“is he joking?!”), and then, of course, I started looking for a better resource. I’m floored that someone in 2021 believes he’s less emotional because he’s male and spreads that anachronism to a vulnerable audience. He could so easily describe himself as “a person not driven by emotion.” I would 100% relate. But, in Jay’s world, I guess I ought to donate my unemotional female brain to a research university when my time comes! ;)

I have BPD and the therapy programs I’ve participated in always forbade us from sharing our bpd experiences. I get it! Of course they don’t want us winding each other up. But the value and comfort of hearing somebody else talk about very intense and scary behaviors that I’ve never understood and have never been able to control is so profound that it actually releases me from the worst of bpd. There is space between me and BPD now and I can breath and start to look at it with perspective. Wow. Now when I feel myself splitting instead of FREAKING OUT and engaging in escape behavior - and the inescapable shame spiral - I think “oh ok this is part of bpd” and then I can ACTUALLY HAVE A NORMAL DAY (instead of spinning out and recovering for two days). Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rose knew exactly what I needed to hear with my chaotic and turbulent emotions and behaviors. Implementing her input really kick started my journey. I’m and almost entirely off medication and my relationship is more stable. Thank you so much Rose!

The most accurate podcast and treatment i've ever heard and used for my BPD. From people who actually know what its like, instead of a therapist who can say they understand but have never lived with it. Rose is Refreshing and real. I truly lost all hope of getting better and had been told by countless other podcasts, forums, doctors of all kinds that BPD wasnt something you could ever fully overcome. Now I know that they were wrong BECAUSE of Rose. So if youre tired of living under the extreme weight of this Sh** disorder, listen to the podcast, put Roser's tools and works to use in everyday life. It's hard work but its so worth it...isn't it harder to keep living under that weight?

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Rose is a household name around here, a third party that can represent a wise voice throughout the chaos and struggle. Humble, gentle, comforting, honest and truthful. Start at episode one and join the Facebook group too. I have found great support.

I’ll never forget the first time I listened to this podcast. I had beaten my own personal record for rock bottom. I felt so completely and utterly hopeless. I did everything the research suggested. DBT, CBT, EMDR, you name it. I was on a mission to save my own life, I was determined, I worked hard, but something always felt like it was missing. As I continued recovery through traditional modes of therapy, I also continued to isolate myself, push my partner and friends away and engage in incredibly destructive behaviors. Looking back, I now realize the biggest piece of the recovery puzzle that was missing was an internal moral compass. See, while the other therapeutic tools were (in my experience) occasionally helpful at alleviating intense emotions, they always came bobbing right back up to the surface, usually with more intensity than before. I needed truth. I needed accountability. I do believe the traditional therapy industry saves lives. I’m certain of it. However, I think people, especially people with BPD or BPD traits, are done an enormous disservice when led to believe that there are only a few legitimate paths to recovery. That narrative causes harm. For, if you don’t see a long-term benefit from DBT (insert any other acronym that is touted as a cure for bpd) you may wonder if something is wrong with you, or if you’re like me, you may tell yourself you’re just not meant to recover...that you’re stuck feeling this way. You’re not. There’s hope. Don’t give up. Just because you don’t like who you are right now, doesn’t mean you’re not worth it. You can transform yourself into someone who is sensitive, empathetic, humble, loyal, brave and kind. This podcast can help you do that if you’re willing to accept the truth.

I genuinely can’t even describe how accurate this is to my life. From my first breakup in high school, experiencing those moments where emotions completely takeover. To going to college and majoring in human services which is when I suspected I had BPD. When I went to a psychiatrist they confirmed my beliefs. Soon after I started therapy (DBT) and learned the necessary skills to help deal with life. I appreciate this podcast so much.

Hopefully most people needing and willing to do the hard work involved in treating their BPD are guided in the right direction and away from this BS. Motivational coaching and bits and pieces of real researched (!yes research)based treatment all went into this little package of online ‘treatment’. I hear someone who didn’t want to do the work and smart enough ( unfortunately) to manipulate an intellectual understanding of Cluster B personality disorders into a business instead of using it to get better. Subtle jabs throughout at research based treatment plans and therapists who know the seriousness and real work involved in successful treatment speak to calculated and manipulative attempt at funneling a vulnerable clientele toward her (their) cure. Scary Cluster B couple take their show on the road with little if any real professional psychology licensing. Featured in ‘psychology today’ = advertised listing . Eye roll. I think most professionals would see through the his pretty quickly or at least see it for what it is , but if your someone suffering from BPD find someone who is trained and certified in DBT and ask them about treatment. It is treatable , but it’s hard work and sure discipline is involved , but not the kind of navy seals.

Rose’s descriptions and contrasts of her life before and after her BPD recovery are so relatable. Her podcasts really highlight the benefits of working hard in therapy to achieve recovery and what life can hold for us.

I don’t mean this in the sense of oh this movie was inspiring or I read a book that gave me perspective. No this was the start of a kick in the face to the toxic and destructive behavior I never even noticed I had. Yes I would say oh I just get angry oh I’m just jealous oh I just get sensitive and my heart is broken. Then it would go to blame, why don’t they see how I feel. Why aren’t they supporting me. I mean this has changed my life. This is the start to healthy and functional love for my self, loved ones, and finding peace. Health and peace was so rare, it was such a roller coaster, I will continue to share this with everyone I think could benefit.

In a matter of weeks, this Podcast has helped me more than years of CBT, EMDR, DBT, REBT, medications, etc. Not to say those therapies haven't helped, but if you REALLY want to recover from BPD then this is the Podcast for you. You have to get real with yourself. You need to accept some hard truths. Rose and this Podcast are the best guides for that. Give it a try, an honest try. We can recover!

This podcast has been such a blessing. I just discovered it a week ago and have already listened to half the episodes! Not only does Rose help me feel validated and seen but she uses her story and experience to inspire me to grow and heal from BPD. So grateful 🙏🏻♥️

Wow, thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been looking for a professional that would be open with me to no avail. 😞 please keep this podcast up.

I appreciate you for starting this podcast. I have BPD and I feel supported and acknowledged when mental health professionals take the time to destigmatize and explain psychological disorders.
