The best personality disorder podcast available!

Thank you for creating The Cluster B Podcast. It has helped me gain so much knowledge about my toxic ex and his toxic partner. I couldn’t seem to wrap my head around their behaviors, communication styles, and actions until I found Cluster B. I am a self help junkie and I have searched and searched for an explanation for the delusions they create. Cluster B makes me realize I am NOT the problem or the “monster” and word for word some episodes are EXACTLY what I am witnessing/living through!!!
THANK YOU!!! KEEP THE INFORMATION COMING!!!

Interesting but oversimplifying the disorders

It is interesting to have the disorders described and compared. I understand that each disorder is broken down into its own traits and examples are given based on that alone. However, as is noted, comorbidities occur and each individual is different. I fear that simplifying the disorders down like this will play into stereotypes. The disorder itself cannot predict how an individual will approach a situation and I hope people do not judge and make assumptions based on the disorder alone.

Helped my understanding a lot

This has helped so much in terms of understanding personality disorders which I find difficult to understand. I had read the symptoms before but this helped me understand the many different ways the symptoms may be lived out.
