Coping with Rejection, Silence, and Cut-Offs in BPD-FREE Webinar

One of the most confusing and painful experiences for carers is the sudden emotional distance that can appear in BPD relationships. A person who once needed you intensely may suddenly withdraw, block you, or lash out before disappearing. These cut-offs feel personal—but they rarely are.

This webinar explains why cycles of closeness and rejection are common in BPD and how they reflect deep-seated fears of abandonment and shame. You’ll learn how to interpret these ruptures without internalising blame, manage the anxiety that comes with silence, and maintain your own emotional balance during periods of no contact.

We’ll also explore what to say (and not say) when reconnection happens, and how to offer steadiness without sacrificing your boundaries.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand why emotional cut-offs happen in BPD

• Learn strategies for managing the “invisible leash” of anxiety and guilt

• Practice ways to reconnect without rewarding rejection patterns

• Maintain your wellbeing through repeated rupture-and-repair cycles
