In the video, "Struggling with Emptiness and BPD," the concept of emptiness is introduced, explaining its internalized sense and correcting the spelling to "internalized." Factors or traits of emptiness include feeling emotionally numb and experiencing a disconnect between emotions and experiences. An unstable selfimage is discussed, followed by the use of anger as a false cover for emptiness. Links to videos on anger are provided. The consequences of using anger as a cover, such as abandonment and rejection, are explored, with a correction from "rejection" to "rejection sensitivity." The video differentiates emptiness from depression and encourages identifying personal feelings of emptiness. A book link on Complex Borderline Personality Disorder is shared, followed by an emotions exercise link. The importance of working with a mental health professional and addressing BPD distortions is highlighted, and strategies for working through maladaptive patterns with BPD are covered. Finally, a link to an anger management video is provided.
