    This episode talks about BPD and mirroring, or "The Chameleon Effect". When you have BPD it can be very hard to have a solid sense of self, that, coupled with a constant fear of abandonment allows us to pick up characteristics from those around us and adapt to be like them. This episode talks about my personal experiences with mirroring as well as how I have since been able to be my true self!
