By: Jennifer C. Dove

Narrated by: Mary Kell

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
