You’ve been outplaced, outsourced, downsized, let go, terminated, or just plain fired! Getting fired stinks and it affects how you see yourself and your life, this is true for all of us. Those with BPD are a higher probability to internalize this and make it about their failures of self, their broken self, their inability to be “normal”.

In this video, we're going to talk about how BPD impacts employment and your BPD severity. We'll cover topics like how employment can be a barrier to successful treatment, how your BPD severity affects your work performance and how to manage your work expectations.

After watching this video, you'll understand how BPD impacts your employment and be able to better manage your work expectations. You'll also learn some tips for successful employment, based on your specific BPD severity and needs. So let's get started!
