Wow, this is really interesting, Puzzle Therapy. I have to go listen to these episodes. One of my friends who is a psychologist and knows about my daughter's trans identity has suggested she might be BPD; however, my daughter has no childhood trauma and no real attachment issues so I wondered how she might have developed BPD...I had not heard about iatrogenic or pseudo-BPD. Of course, I can't take her for any sort of diagnosis, because I don't trust any providers to do anything but affirm her more than her previous therapists already hvae.
I am curious to learn more about this pseudo-BPD too. One thing I've read elsewhere is a theory that BPD may have hereditary causes even where there are no traumas or attachment issues. Also I recall reading studies connecting BPD and autism with extreme stress (high levels of cortisol) during the pregnancy. I found that interesting. I don't remember where that was but I think the study was on women who had survived Hurricane Katrina and elevated rates of autism in their children.
