Good afternoon, everyone. It's Dr. Niagara again with our next episode of Psychology Unplugged.

Again, another fun week. I really enjoyed doing this podcast. I think I enjoy it more and more every week.

And very privileged and humbled to have reached an audience globally that never imagine when I

started doing this just a little over a year ago. So I've really enjoyed speaking with a lot of

you guys via text, via email, calling me, and I will give all that contact information out over the phone.

I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of you guys from various parts of not only the United States,

but other parts of the world who are coming to see me for Neurosigvales, which is just truly amazing and incredibly humbling.

So thank you to all of you guys who follow this program, and I appreciate all the positive comments. Some people comment on the audio. Look,

that wasn't part of my doctoral training, so I do the best I can with the equipment I have,

which is pretty good. So I do this very organically.

Julie is around, whether she pops in or not. She kind of ebbs and flows in the ether.

And if she jumps in, she'll jump in. So I thought of different topics I wanted to cover,

which is something I generally don't do during the week.

But interestingly, this week was one of the topics I've been talking about the most.

And I woke up to probably 70 emails and 50 texts and several voicemails asking me to revisit

borderline personality disorder.

And I'm going to try and touch on probably the people wanted, I think new people

who joined the show or just wanted a more refresher on it.

Hopefully I'll be able to cover topics that I didn't cover in other topics or other episodes,

but I will do my best.

But I want to backtrack from the whole concept of personality.

And personality, if you break it down, is it's my belief about myself, my belief about other people, my belief about the world in general, and the therefores, the conclusions that I draw based on those beliefs.
