  • Why BPD Relationships Fail - Repetition Compulsions Projection and Projective Identification

    Why BPD Relationships Fail - Repetition Compulsions Projection and Projective Identification
    Oct 28 2025
    Why BPD Relationships Fail - Repetition Compulsions Projection and Projective Identification

    In this episode, A.J. Mahari explains how unconscious repetition compulsions, projection, and BPD projective identification keep people with Borderline Personality Disorder trapped in painful relational cycles. You’ll learn how early trauma shapes perception, how partners become stand-ins for abandoning or abusive parents, and how projective identification pulls loved ones into the Borderline’s emotional world. This compassionate deep dive helps you understand what’s really happening beneath the chaos — and how awareness can finally break the cycle of reenacting the past which cannot stop or change until and unless each person with BPD is treated for 8-16 years in a psychodynamic modality of treatment because DBT is not a recovery modality for BPD.

  • Borderline Induced Conversations - When Talking Turns Into Trauma for Codependents

    Borderline Induced Conversations - When Talking Turns Into Trauma for Codependents
    Oct 12 2025
    Borderline Induced Conversations - When Talking Turns Into Trauma for Codependents

    When you try to talk to someone with Borderline Personality Disorder and the conversation suddenly turns emotional, chaotic, or painful — you’re not communicating. You’re in an induced conversation.

    In this episode, A.J. Mahari explains how Borderlines and Codependents unconsciously pull each other into trauma-based emotional loops that feel like connection but are actually dysregulation. You’ll learn what’s really happening in your nervous system, why you keep getting drawn back in, and how to finally step out of these trauma-bonded “talks” that never resolve anything and never bring peace.

    In this podcast episode:
    What an induced conversation really is
    How Borderlines project pain and Codependents absorb it
    The nervous-system collision behind emotional chaos
    Why calm feels unsafe after trauma
    How to end the cycle and reclaim your peace

  • Borderline Love a Looping Trap of Deception

    Borderline Love a Looping Trap of Deception
    Oct 11 2025
    Borderline Love a Looping Trap of Deception

    Borderline Love is a looping trap of deception rooted in fantasy, betrayal, false hope, and trauma bonded dynamics of pseudo attachment and the Borderline idealization trap of deception (conscious or unconscious). People with BPD deceive boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, the favorite person, friends and family members as well as themselves.
    People with Borderline Personality do not know who they are. They do not know how to relate to you as separate from their own internal dysregulated and emotionally immature "lack of self". "Love and/or attachment" believed to be given by a person with BPD or received by a Codependent is an emotional deception and a trap.
