Publisher's summary
BPD affects a significant percentage of the population. It is a disorder of relationships, one whose symptoms occur most in interpersonal contexts - and thus impact any number of interpersonal connections in life. When people have BPD, they may struggle to manage their emotions on a daily basis, and have to deal with fears of abandonment, anger issues, self-injury, and even suicidality - all of which can lead to even more instability in relationships.
In Beyond Borderline, two internationally acclaimed experts on BPD - including Perry Hoffman, cofounder and president of the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEA-BPD) - team up to present a rare glimpse into the lives and recovery of people affected by BPD. This powerful compilation of stories reveals the deeply personal, firsthand perspectives of people who suffer with BPD, explores the numerous ways in which this disorder has affected their lives, and outlines the most debilitating and misunderstood symptoms of BPD (the most tragic being suicide).
Beyond Borderline delves into the many ways the disorder can present-as well as the many paths to recovery-using evidence-based tools from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness meditation, mentalization-based therapy (MBT), and more.

"Are you one of us?" a patient once asked Marsha Linehan, the world-renowned psychologist who developed dialectical behavior therapy. "Because if you were, it would give all of us so much hope." Over the years, DBT had saved the lives of countless people fighting depression and suicidal thoughts, but Linehan had never revealed that her pioneering work was inspired by her own desperate struggles as a young woman. Only when she received this question did she finally decide to tell her story.

Overcoming Borderline Personality Disorder is a compassionate and informative guide to understanding this profoundly unsettling - and widely misunderstood - mental illness, believed to affect approximately six percent of the general population. Rather than viewing people with BPD as manipulative opponents in a bitter struggle, or pitying them as emotional invalids, Valerie Porr cites cutting-edge science to show that BPD is a true neurobiological disorder and not, as many come to believe, a character flaw or the result of bad parenting.

Story
If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life - a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly - only that you feel trapped and alone. If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD).

Story
The shark attacked while she was snorkeling, tearing through Micki Glenn’s breast and shredding her right arm. Her husband, a surgeon, saved her life on the spot, but when she was safely home she couldn’t just go on with her life. She had entered an even more profound survival journey: the aftermath. The survival experience changes everything because it invalidates all your previous adaptations, and the old rules don’t apply. In some cases survivors suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they have to work hard to reinvent themselves.

Only when she received this question did she finally decide to tell her story.

Traditional parenting strategies that work on other kids just don't work with a borderline child. But you shouldn't lose hope. The good news is that there are parenting strategies that do work.

I'm finally not alone
I found my being right beside each story, relating with each part of their BPD journey. I now feel that there is a psychologist or psychologist out there who won't be scared or tell me I can't be helped. I've been diagnosed since I was 30. Had a marvelous psychiatrist for 8 years, in a week he passed away. they began passing me along to 6 different APN, I finally got let go cause they had diagnosed me as difficult. Now there is Virtual help. I'll be able to find a psychiatrist or psychologist somewhere in my state for help.Ive listened to a few other books on Bpd but the stories make me feel not alone. thank you Sincerely

True to the Condition
BPD is a difficult thing to overcome. And the stories can be a little graphic at times, but it's true to what the condition is. At first, I wasn't a big fan of Mike Lenz reading it, but I got used to the voice over time. Since most of the stories are from women, it would've been a bit more immersive if it was read by a woman, but Mike does an alright job overall. Definitely good for people who are newly diagnosed and not sure where to go or know that there are others who suffer from the condition and that can get better.

Loved it but made me sad
I have BPD I loved this book but it made me sad. The only reason it made me sad was because all these successes with dbt and I did dbt and I feel like it didn’t help me at all. So it made me kinda sad hearing all these successes and Im still suffering. I didnt like how it was spoken by a man as 99% of the stories in here were by females. Im not trying to be sexist this is just my opinion. This book overall is great and gives a huge look what it is to be borderline.

Outrightly Pathetic & Exasperatingly Disappointing!
Having spent years struggling with BPD, and recovery… Honestly! I cannot understand why John Gunderson would be associated with such a piece of ____ work! I don’t give reviews like this often, but is this the best the author could come up with? I have read, and listened good books and audio books on this subject… In my opinion this isn’t one of them! Don’t waste time, or money! People who write such crap shouldn’t be rewarded!
