Narrado por: Kirsten Potter

Do you feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to? Are you the focus of intense, violent, and irrational rages? Do you feel you are "walking on eggshells" to avoid the next confrontation? If the answer is yes, someone you care about may have borderline personality disorder (BPD) - a mood disorder that causes negative self-image, emotional instability, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships.

Stop Walking on Eggshells has already helped more than a million people with friends and family members suffering from BPD understand this difficult disorder, set boundaries, and help their loved ones stop relying on dangerous BPD behaviors. This fully revised third edition has been updated with the very latest BPD research on comorbidity, extensive new information about narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), the effectiveness of schema therapy, and coping and communication skills you can use to stabilize your relationship with the BPD or NPD sufferer in your life. This compassionate guide will enable you to:

• Make sense out of the chaos
• Stand up for yourself and assert your needs
• Defuse arguments and conflicts
• Protect yourself and others from violent behavior

Very Helpful

Although I'm still in a great deal of pain, gaining a better perspective on my loved ones pain and struggles as well as my responsibility in the relationships has opened the path forward and provided some direction for me. I should be an expert since I've been experiencing BPD in my life from my earliest awareness., my father, two of my brothers, my husband, and both my children - plus I've provided care for my grandmother and mother in law with Alzheimers.

I've been blaming myself and trying to fix situations and people all my life. I'm finally finding a way to release myself from blame and guilt, realizing nothing can be changed except myself, my thoughts, and my behaviors. I'm planning to reread this book often hoping to successfully navigate a way to love them all and build positive relationships without being destroyed in the process.

interesting

This book has helpful information for the one who is in these types of relationships.

realistic overview & helpful tools

hood and realistic overview, helps to understand the situation and the other person. also has very helpful tools to how to interact. or you might see that its too much work and u cant continue the relationship.

Now it all makes sense.

Very informative. If you believe a person in your life has BPD then you’re probably exhausted at this point and searching for answers. This book will relieve much of your frustration and give you the understanding you’ve been struggling to find.

I’d also recommend you read The Four Agreements. You’ll need to remain mindful of all of them for this battle.

Encouragement for those who really need it!

People with significant others or partners with untreated or poorly managed bipolar illness or borderline personality disorder can greatly benefit from reading this book. They will surely get some perspective on how to improve their own mental health in spite of the challenges these fraught relationships pose. All are worthy of respect and kindness! Get clarity, get support, and improve your life!
