Welcome back to the podcast. In this Episode Rosie talks about her experiences of having the label of 'Borderline Personality Disorder' and what the work she's doing to understand what the label means to her and how she believes this helps others who are trying to navigate mental health services in the UK.


You can find her blog, 'Talking About BPD' here;


You can buy her first book, 'Talking about BPD' here;


Her latest book, 'The Talking About BPD Workbook' has just been published here


As with all the other episodes, there'll be views you may not agree with - have a listen to our introductory episode, so you can get a feel for what we're all about.


Every single person I've interviewed so far has either witnessed and/ or experienced prejudice against people with the label by the people charged with our care and society at large.


This is a database of testimony for those people.
