If you are waking up tired, losing your train of thought mid-sentence, feeling overstimulated by everyday life, and wondering what happened to the version of you who used to keep up — read this:

You used to move through your day without thinking about it. You could do what needed to be done and still have energy left over. Now everything feels harder than it should. You forget what you are doing mid-task. You reread the same email five times. You stop in the middle of a sentence and lose y

Ever set a ‘boundary’ that left you more resentful than relieved? You’re not alone, and you might be off track. Our new blog reveals why boundaries aren’t about changing others but freeing yourself. Bonus: they can make relationships better, not worse.

Read it here:

A Word Adrift As a therapist, I’ve spent years guiding people toward boundaries, those quiet, powerful lines that protect our peace. Lately, though, I’ve noticed something unsettling. “Boundary” has become a buzzword that has strayed from its roots. I hear it in sessions and casual chats ali...

These days, social media is full of people diagnosing each other with personality disorders—throwing around words like ‘narcissist,’ ‘manipulative,’ and ‘toxic.’ But Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is often caught in the crossfire, misunderstood and misrepresented.

BPD isn’t about being difficult or attention-seeking. It’s about navigating intense emotions, deep fears of abandonment, and survival strategies that were often learned in response to painful experiences.

In our latest blog, we’re breaking down what BPD actually is (and isn’t), why boundaries can feel different for those with BPD, and how DBT can help. It’s time to move beyond the myths and toward real understanding.

Read more here:

Over the years, I’ve worked with many people who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and one thing has become clear—there is a lot of misunderstanding about what BPD actually is. Through my work, I have gained a deep understanding of these experiences—the challenges...

Ever sit down to meditate and end up planning an imaginary argument instead? 🧘‍♀️🤔💭

If your "mindfulness practice" turns into a replay of that awkward moment from five years ago—or plotting the perfect comeback you wish you'd said—we totally get it.

Brains are funny like that. Achieving peace doesn’t have to mean sitting in silence or trying to shut your thoughts down. Sometimes, it’s about finding practical ways to create calm, even when life feels chaotic.

At Middle Path, we embrace the beautifully messy journey of being human. We're here to help you navigate the overthinking, the what-ifs, and the late-night brain marathons.
