Carla Sharp, PhD

Open Mind Event:

In this powerful conversation hosted by the Open Mind Series, Dr. Blaise Aguirre and Dr. Robin Kissell explore the roots of self-hatred, how it manifests in adolescence and adulthood, and how mentalizing-based approaches can offer a path to understanding and healing.

This event brings together two leading voices in mental health, blending clinical insight with personal stories and real-world strategies for emotional resilience.

APA Event:

In this conversation, Dr. Carla Sharp explores borderline personality disorder through a mentalization-based lens, examining how BPD is defined and diagnosed, how disruptions in mentalizing contribute to symptoms, and how treatment can support emotional regulation and relationships. She also discusses how families can play a vital role in fostering mentalizing in both children and adults.

A thoughtful discussion aimed at deepening understanding, reducing stigma, and supporting more effective care.
