Relationships can be a source of deep connection, but they can also bring intense emotions and challenges. For some people with borderline personality disorder (BPD), a relationship with a “favorite person” can play a particularly significant role in their emotional well-being and day-to-day life.

In this webinar, Alexandra Stein, Ph.D., will share findings from her research on favorite person relationships, exploring what they are, how they differ from other relationships, and why they can intensify emotions and relationship patterns associated with BPD. Understanding these dynamics can help clarify how favorite person relationships affect everyone involved. Dr. Stein will also discuss ways to navigate these relationships and offer guidance for people with lived experience, loved ones, and clinicians seeking to better understand and address the challenges they may bring.
