Why do people pronounce "personality disorder" like personalty ssorter?

I hate being retired and not being able to put this knowledge into practice.

This video actually allows someone to mentalize a narcissist beyond just them being self centered. A lot of the problems seem to come from a fear of rejection and fear of loss that causes them to obsess over themselves because they are worried about what others think. Kind of ironic that someone who comes off as self-centered is actually overly concerned with others perceptions. So what you see is their lack of empathy but what you don’t see is their longing to connect. so much more to say but that’s just some of my thoughts coming from someone who could definitely be diagnosed antisocial/narcissistic/BPD. Also greetings from Orlando :)

I'm just over half way through and I just have to say thank you, Dr. Puder, for your consistent willingness and desire to engage in roleplays in so many of your psychotherapeutically focused episodes. It seriously enlivens the theoretical material and provides a very special opportunity for us viewers to witness the application of theory by some of its most esteemed practitioners and, in this case, progenitors. Truly awesome. Thanks again to you and your guests. Inspiring work.

I love the role plays. They are my favorite part of watching these as a layperson

Interesting stuff. I did groups with inmates serving long sentences and found it so difficult to focus them; the default was always, the system or the corrections officers made it impossible for them to make any progress in any sense. They were "screwed" and that was that.

It’s good you draw a distinction between pathological and the normalised narcissism of everyday life. At many work envts, if not required, often expected and frequently interpreted as motivation, antagonistic spirit etc. The average person is not psychologically literate enough to prevent it from becoming pathological. Thanks for bringing this conversation online. As always, informative in many ways.

Great podcast! More please.

I’m working with a client with anti social traits currently, and it feels like my usual training is out the window. Lots of lying and the here and now feels inaccessible. Any progress made one session feels disowned the next week

As a teacher I really relate to the discussion on presenteeism and the burden of taking time off to take care of our own needs. Great episode, I listen because if I could go back I would/should have been a therapist. I’m passionate about mental health and love learning about it.

« nurse practionner who works for me .... » 🥲 could've been «with me »... but ok.

Thank you for this episode!I am really happy that you spoke about writing as a therapeutic technique !I am a huge proponent of it especially hand writing when anxious or depressed or burnt out!

First. Another great episode DP! (Dr. Puder). Loved the much needed conversation surrounding the stigma of healthcare professionals asking for help and taking time off. As a care provider who recently got my licensure, let me help further de-pathologize this topic by sharing that I have zero shame in calling my local crisis-line when I find I don't have anybody to talk to and am experiencing extreme periods of intense stress (have been doing it for years! 🤣😅). 7:22 - What she describes here reminds me of the term " _Moral_ _Masochism_ " whereby we view ourselves as more virtuous and valuable the more we suffer (also tied to conditions of self-worth - e.g., "I'm only worthy if I suffer") . Shedler describes this more here th-cam.com/video/An52UobuQ8w/w-d-xo.html 31:30 - This reminds me of Dr. Danielle Knafo recounting a quote from Carl Jung where he once said " _A_ _great_ _psychologist_ _is_ _one_ _who_ _must_ _spend_ _his_ _life_ _in_ _a_ _mental_ _hospital_ . _The_ _question_ _is_ , _as_ _a_ _doctor_ , _or_ _as_ _a_ _patient_ ...." 🤣 She describes this here: th-cam.com/video/sWWtPx2WckU/w-d-xo.html

thank you for bounding hopefulness at 45:20 - it deeply annoys me when this narrative becomes one of healing and empowerment - the responsibility of the patient - when the narrative needs to move past just an out-of-touch resilience narrative to something that is individually helpful to the patient.

This is the best psychopharmacology episode i have heard so far

This experiment has long lasting in the child's HPA axis. Repair is most important for the child, if the experiment is deemed necessary for the dad's education, as it could lead to broken trust and a life time of emotional avoidance.

Highly recommend letting your guest speak when you ask a question. Constantly talking over her is such a misogynistic approach to the interview.. She never has an opportunity to finish a thought before you've taking over.

This brought Deep long forgotten memories 🙏🏻🥲

I hope the other specialists who speak on the same topic forgive me , but it is such a different level of narrative when an actual psychiatrist who works at university or in hospital discuss mental problems . May we have more speakers like that !

Despite the serious lack of Shedster, this really was a tremendous, great, and informative video! 😋 7:11 - When Dr. Bender is talking about constancy of self, it reminded of Dr. McWilliams talking about this as being one of her "10 domains of psychological health" (Self-continuity - Stable, constant sense of self throughout the lifespan. Also tied to relationship with one’s body (e.g, viewing it as self, or foreign) She describes more of this here th-cam.com/video/Tv6yNJcZhl0/w-d-xo.html 8:33 - When Rachel talks about "early developmental tasks", it reminds me of Erickson's psychosocial stage of "Industry VS Inferiority", whereby the child either gains an internal sense of being able to effect the world (agency) and become good at something, _or_ _not_ . Also reminds me of Joseph Weiss's Control/Mastery theory (even though I know this describes somewhat of a different process). 14:35 - When Dr. Bender talks about patients who come in saying "I just got to get *IT* (the unpleasant memories) out of me". This would be an example of Freud's I/It distinction, whereby we disavow things which are unpleasant to the self (IT), and claim ownership of positive things we feel as belonging to us (I). 18:30 - love the beach-ball and Voldermort analogies to not dealing with/naming one's emotions. Reminds me of Daniel Siegel's "name it to tame it, feel it to heal it". 20:56 - Very astute point by Dr. Bender about the isomorphic, parallel processes in regards to his experience watching the character of "anxiety" in the movie, and how it actually feels in real life. 😅 Finally, I wonder what type of personality "type" or "style" Riley would be (e.g., hysterical, schizoid, obsessional, counter-dependent)? Moreover, what level of personality organization she would be (e.g., Neurotic, Borderline, Psychotic)? p.s...any idea when our little cohort is starting?? (the one for "advancing psychotherapy skills and connecting with a community of like-minded mental health professionals").🙂

I wish we could hear what Dr. Puder was about to say! I was really interested! (thank you Dr. Puder to mention that we don't want to negate the experience of someone who experienced abuse by someone with NPD)

I’m curious if anyone here has family members who have a borderline dx?

I'm a med student, really enjoyed it, thanks, keep making these podcasts

Very helpful, thanks everyone

I am 51, (GAD) had first major panic attack at 19. Anxiety sent me home from school away and kept me out of joining the Army. married in 2005 had a 2009 baby and a 2012 baby. now for my two pregnancies in my late 30’s my doctor allowed Prozac and Trazodone only but sometime maybe after 8 weeks of breast feeding I am assuming I have been on Cymbalta. There have been times in my life when I have been able to not need it (but the exercise regiment was dedicated) but for the most part Cymbalta has been the miracle drug. Of course .. there is one bummer side effect I imagine most married patients have and the biggest temptation to come off it at times. The med that works as well as Cymbalta and doesn’t have that side effect would be as good as gold. I have been on 60mg for most of this time. I have been increased to 120 to get through time that include worrisome life times. Small panic attack for no real reason brought me to this video .. this happens every time I attempt a break from the drug .. I have probably skipped a couple days .. You discuss perimenopause.. and oh yeah this med is a keeper ..

This episode genuinely answered so many of my questions I’ve had about the treatment modalities used with BPD. The information on benzodiazepines effect on BPD was so helpful and informative as well. 👏🏻

Thank you for sharing precious experiences ❤

I've tried replying to your comment multiple times but it doesn't seem to save. Matthew Bennett, Psy.D., based out in CA integrates Self-Psychology and Jungian Analytic Psychology, creating a new model of the psyche that also incorporates psychodynamic personality structure into the treatment and understanding of movement of the individual through treatment into health. It's an ambitious proposal and having used it in treatment myself, it works.

Increase your physical distance like any sensible person would do when encountering a large mamal that is in fight or fligt mode. You really should go to prison for the pseudoscientific nonsense you spread. And for destroying the trust in science as such. By the way we are a species that is territorial AND uses reproductive supression. This puts us in the same class than the most violent species on earth. How the heck did you come up with the idea that beeing violent as a human is a brain error?!??

WE NEED THE SECOND PART!!!

Could you please do an episode on Schema Therapy? There are research papers that talk about effectiveness of ST for BPD and Eating Disorders.

Where is Jonathan Shedler ??????????? Where is he ?????????????? Where????? Please more Jonathan Shedler on all personality styles ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

First! (again). Dr. Cummings is a treasure-trove and wealth of knowledge...like an oracle he is .... Whats the name of that disorder where the individual has an extreme aversion to viewing people through disorders?? I think I have it 🤣

Genesis chapter 2 and 3

More Nancy please

What a contribution to the field of psychotherapy this podcast makes. In particular, I have listened to the interviews with Nancy McWilliams and Jonathan Shedler *several* times and taken notes! Such leaders in the field, both of whom speak with rigour, clarity, and compassion. Even though I'm an experienced psychotherapist I have profited greatly from these exceptional and deep interviews. Thank you so much.

Somebody already mentioned it, but Dr. Shedler might have a narcissistic personality organization himself. I did not appreciate how he tried to outdo Dr. Puder at every opportunity and by the end I was rather annoyed by it. All those books in the background to appeal to his authority, and he is so pretentiously soft-spoken... Not a fan of Shedler's act. I appreciate that Dr. Puder is authentic, there's no act.

Venlafaxine 150 and Mirtazapine 15 has really helped my T1 Diabetic Neuropathy in a significant way as well as with my melancholic, no energy, achy, anhedonia type depression. I'd been through the meat grinder with psych meds but at best, any given combination of drugs only yielded a partial response and really annoying, sticky side effects. But then we switched to this combination as a last resort and, for me, it's night and day. I wish it worked for more folks in a similar condition as myself.

Connect your brain to ChatGTP. That be amazing.

Anyone have any reliable data on Lybalvi vs Olanzapine?

Love this podcast!

He did have a try led childhood! There is evidenced of his childhood trauma at an early age and so on! The info is out there just wasn’t in the documentary

..the only meds I would take are Shedleradone or Shedlerapine - and no weight gain! 🤣

All fake ass revisionist history. Funny how all of this cropped up ONLY after a book called Blitzed came out in the early millennial years
