If you are like many others living with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you know what it's like to be overwhelmed by intense and fluctuating emotions; to have difficulty with relationships; and to constantly struggle with troubling thoughts and behaviors. BPD can be especially difficult to treat, though there are ways to gain control over your symptoms and live a happier, healthier life.
Expanding on the core skill of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder will help you target and successfully manage many of the familiar symptoms of BPD. Here, you will learn the basics of mindfulness through specific exercises and will gain powerful insight through real-life stories from people who have BPD. If you are ready to take that first step on the path toward wellness, this book will be your guide.

I listened to this book read by Laura Copland on my 30 min drive to work in the morning. She does an excellent job. Her voice has good variable pitch and rhythm. She reads at a good rate; not too fast and not too slow. She expresses emotion when needed but does not over do it. I've listened to previews of other books I would like to hear while driving but the reader's voice was monotone or their voice was too exaggerated. Laura Copland's voice kept my attention, but I was focused on the content and not her voice.

I have self destructed many times, losing much with each detonation. The skills that I learned in this book have helped me to reduce my own suffering during times that would have normally led to self destruction, on multiple occasions. They have helped me to learn to be a better partner, and I given me hope that I be able to have healthy romantic relationships, thus far in life a foreign concept to me. The mindfulness skills you will learn here have been helpful in my battle with addiction, and given relief from bipolar disorder. It's not an instant fix, but you can see the results quickly. It takes daily practice to get good at these skills and to be able to use them in every situation that calls for them, until you allow them to become second nature or habitual.
The author has presented this book in an easily digestible way for most people. It is a basic crash course on mindfulness, particularly as it pertains to relief from suffering caused by mental illness. The tone of the text and the "narrator" can be a little cheesy at times, and if you're like me, you may feel like the act of meditating itself is a little cheesy or awkward, but as I've learned, if you give it a chance, your heart will open to the comfort and wisdom it provides. If you are suffering with BPD and crave relief, and especially if you can't afford to see a therapist that knows DBT or are too scared, please, please get this book. It will bring you hope.
A source of great comfort, a powerful tool
