In today's episode, we continue our "Tool Time with Kim Beavers" segment, focusing on reflection and overcoming the stereotypes surrounding Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Kim provides insightful tools for self-management, emphasizes clarity over vanity, and encourages listeners to take genuine action toward self-improvement. We also introduce the "Term of the Day," Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and end with a self-love meditation to foster mindfulness and emotional well-being.
