Essential bitchslap to stop the BPD crazies

This is SO basic and ideally normally obvious yet... somehow I've yet AGAIN managed to forget for so long and to such a pathetic degree no less. Amazingly unbelievable that I'm literally still THIS ashamed, embarrassed, and as always of course, deeply heartbroken all over again... but gratefully reveling through the reconciliations coiled at their very core.

This condensed little gem is the most efficient and effective little emergency pill or baseline rerooting I've ever encounters of this sort. Aside from materials specifically about a particular "remedial reminder" remarkably enumerated in this blunt and brief but very powerful little booster book has over the years been repeatedly like a bible of sorts to me, in all honestly no matter how long between listens it's undeniable that it's consistently been been both a kind of tragic but essential, enlightening reality check on the actual effect of my own toxicity as well as
simultaneously the beacon of every solution to it.

Seriously, there's nothing quite like being chin checked by your own recited reflection and silenced by the irrefutable clarity and sound practical wisdom of advisory contained herein on the disturbingly infantile sadness revealed to myself about my own cyclical self sabotaging escaped that create such utterly uncontrollable devastation directly because my own painfully disillusioned ideals from my desperate narcissistic trauma. And all only to eventually wind up here again and again literally broken by my despairingly failed relations crying to the gods for forgiveness and assistance. I couldn't imagine being reclaimed and relieved and to this rapid a degree much less this humbled by such uncomfortable facts the way this book does.

Wow. Insane. In my sincere reflecting and then surrendered acceptance of the indisputable veracity of this almost insultingly obvious information, I am brought back from madness often.

And thankfully, even though I have undeniably regressed so much in recent years, because of this quaint little audiobook, I can quickly remember what went wrong, where, why, and most importantly understand how to best revisit or repair it or simply realize, regroup, redirect, and not only avoid it all together but Also remind and ALLOW my self to. It literally has a catapulting effect on me buy, immediately lunging me away from the limiting reactive mentality responsible and hurls me headfirst into a assertive, mindfully more mature perspective so vitally needed to better my life..
BPD RECOVERY INDEED.

So yeah. I'm so grateful I discovered this precious resource for its concise, unquestionably full of self he most critical directives for the most catastrophic culprits of BPD's self stifling traumatically indoctrinated chaos. It's truly the ULTIMATE refresher of vital essentials for us Bs. I am infinitely thankful for this. But even more thankful to ME for heeding it when needing it. Not easy in the least , but absolutely necessary. Well worth its cents all day ♥️

Wow this was incredibly redundant...'nough said that guess. Meh

great!

Extremely useful, I would describe it as a combination of tips for dealing not just with crisis but everyday life to prevent crisis and short explanations of the causes of our behavior that if explored more in depth by yourself make you understand what needs to be accepted to move on. Veeery insight inducing. Love it. Thank you writer sir and narrator lady :D you're fucking awesome

NOPE

Would you try another book from J.B. Snow and/or D Gaunt?

no

Has BPD Recovery turned you off from other books in this genre?

no

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of D Gaunt?

anyone who did not sound like a computer generated voice and who didn't say things that sounded like generic instead of genetic

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

no

Any additional comments?

I do not know how this got any positive reviews, many of her other booklets did too. I can only guess they were solicited to boost sales. I do not have BPD, my mother does and I was hoping for more insight. BPD is a complex disorder and while the ideas about its origins have some merit, there is large genetic component also. Anyone who claims that BPD can be overcome by listening to this and doing lists of traumatic incidents on their own is going to overcome this is bamboozeling of being bamboozeled. DBT is the only treatment proven to work for this disorder and it takes YEARS working with someone, which is absolutely necessary as this is an attachment disorder full of distortions in thinking. I was not looking for or expecting a cure here, although that does seem to be what the author is selling. No way can I recommend this.
