I enjoyed listening to this title. I anticipate that I will go through and refer to the material again. The responses a person can use to deal with someone experiencing an episode seem effective, mature, and caring. However, they require practice to deliver competently. There are a lot of relevant acronyms and additional resources recommended in the book. This book is well worth the investment.2 people found this helpful

Some of its descriptions on people with BPD looks more like survivors of BPD parents, or even adult survivors of narcissistic parents. I know this sounds like something a bpd person would say! But, when compared to other online resources, it does not fit. Who knows, maybe the author is a BPD survivor and also has BPD and is unsure where to draw the line! or maybe there isn't a vivid line, survivors mimic some of their BPD parents' traits, as that's their primary source of how to behave in society.2 people found this helpful
