    More episodes?
    This is a great show. The narrator is very knowledgeable and I appreciate the use of published science to structure the narrative. I was a dedicated listener each week and miss getting new episodes. Please come back!

    Interesting but oversimplifying the disorders
    It is interesting to have the disorders described and compared. I understand that each disorder is broken down into its own traits and examples are given based on that alone. However, as is noted, comorbidities occur and each individual is different. I fear that simplifying the disorders down like this will play into stereotypes. The disorder itself cannot predict how an individual will approach a situation and I hope people do not judge and make assumptions based on the disorder alone.

    The best personality disorder podcast available!
    Thank you for creating The Cluster B Podcast. It has helped me gain so much knowledge about my toxic ex and his toxic partner. I couldn’t seem to wrap my head around their behaviors, communication styles, and actions until I found Cluster B. I am a self help junkie and I have searched and searched for an explanation for the delusions they create. Cluster B makes me realize I am NOT the problem or the “monster” and word for word some episodes are EXACTLY what I am witnessing/living through!!! THANK YOU!!! KEEP THE INFORMATION COMING!!!

    THANK YOU
    This podcast has been super helpful in understanding the behavior of a loved one. I binged all the episodes on HPD today and loved them! I have been doing research for a little while now trying to understand why this loved one acts the way she does, and learning about HPD is the first thing that really makes sense. While it was mentioned that the quality of life doesn’t seem to be negatively affected by this personality disorder, I would argue that the importance of this research could be greatly beneficial to those who are around these people. If my therapist had known more about HPD, she would have been able to better advise me about how to manage this relationship. Even if HPD seems treatment resistant, maybe more research could help in the treatment of those affected by the actions of these people. Thank you so much for speaking on this subject.
