Publisher's summary

If you feel like you’re on an unstable emotional roller coaster with no end in sight or you are involved with someone with BPD and don’t know what to say or do, then keep reading…

Do you often find yourself happy and excited one minute, then upset and sad the next without even knowing why? Are you having a hard time making romantic relationships work because you’re afraid your partner will leave? Have you physically hurt a loved one–or yourself–out of extreme anger that you failed to control or stop? Or are you related to or concerned about someone with BPD–you don’t understand the disorder and want help?

You’re not alone. Over four million people in the US are also experiencing erratic emotions, intense fear of abandonment, and extreme rage, which are some of the hallmarks of borderline personality disorder (BPD). The secret lies in educating yourself about BPD and adopting that knowledge to manage this condition.

Fortunately, this audiobook covers what you need to know. Here is just a fraction of what you will learn:

  • Why borderline personality disorder carries a stigma–even among professionals who are trained to help you
  • Practical techniques to manage BPD symptoms in various aspects of your life
  • Different approaches you can take to overcome BPD from self-help to medical treatments
  • For those involved with someone with BPD: strategies to take care of yourself, as well as the person with BPD
  • Things you should never say to a person with BPD–know how to avoid triggers that could lead to conflicts
  • How one psychologist’s own ordeal with BPD led to the development of a widely successful type of therapy
  • Effective ways to be successful at the workplace despite BPD plus a whole range of jobs that could be just right for you!
  • What to put in your self-care box–think of it as your personalized mental first-aid kit
  • Takeaways at the end of each chapter to summarize the main points

Simply an excellent book.

It's such a delicate thing when it comes to self-harm, fears, validation seeking, vulnerabilities, and many feelings that come across... This book has excellent content, not just for the people who face this disorder, but for people who live with anyone that has to deal with that. So many valuable medical facts and significant research from the Author! Simply an excellent book.

This is an interesting audio.
As a family member of a newly diagnosed BPD, this book is extremely helpful.

I've already been able to implement some of the suggestions when my family member is having an episode.
I recommend this audiobook.

Invaluable insight

This little gem is a wonderful listen that takes us for a deep dive into what underlies this not so uncommon condition. In fact, it unveils the many facets of living with BPD and how we can learn to cope in healthier ways. It is most definitely a complex disorder, so being able to identify triggers (ours or those of others) can assist us in creating an emotionally-balanced life with those we love - including ourselves. This listen offers a way to turn our lives around, as well as help those close to us who don't yet have the tools to navigate BPD.

Great BPD Guide

I knew next to nothing about Borderline Personality Disorder before reading this book. After reading this book I can easily see people in my life that may suffer from it. I loved the detail that the author provides on how to talk and engage with someone with BPD, and the self help strategies for those that suffer from it.

Helpful to understand BPD!

I found this book an interesting pathway of knowing about BPD as I was not aware of it before. I realized the importance of it and how unintentionally we sometimes suffer from disorders.

The author has well explain about BPD in detail and how can a person manage himself from it. So, it is a good opportunity for readers to acknowledge themselves. Highly Recommended!
