About this listen

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

I have a cousin who has BPD, and this book has helped me understand what my cousin goes through on a daily basis. The other does an excellent job of educating the reader on how to cope or assist a loved one in coping. Everyone should be more aware of this illness so that we can assist those around us who are struggling to manage it. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about BPD or who has it.

Great Read! Very Informative

This audiobook is well put together and very thorough. The book has information for the person with the disorder as well as the family member close to the person. There are many practical solutions for dealing with the behaviors and ways to overcome some of the challenges a bipolar person has. There's so much information in this book, it's a must listen to if you suspect you know or do know someone with BPD.

Great Resource!!

I have recently entered into a relationship with a very caring and vibrantly energetic BPD woman. This book helped me to understand why she used to behave the way she did and also helped me realise how to relate to her with more empathy. Being in a relationship with a woman with treated BPD is amazing. She is exciting, energetic, affectionate and very intimate. I do my best to validate and honour her emotions as she does with me. Understanding the disorder will only be beneficial to our relationship. This book has been very insightful.
