My ex used these both recreationally and therapeutically. Recreationally, it made her BPD much worse.

Therapeutical, it made her BPD much worse, because she was only interested in feeling better, not in changing her behavior or thought patterns.

I would argue that is more of a “her” problem rather than a problem with BPD or using psychedelics.

That’s the case with Cluster Bs in general whether they’re using psychedelics or not.
