Thanks for doing this. It’s especially helpful to view the video. May the Lord bless you as you move forward. Hopefully, you know that BPD is curable.

Thank you. I firmly believe that spirituality is a vital healing component for people with mental illness. Sadly, many times clergy are misinformed or do not know what to do. I hope this video helps address that knowledge gap.
