If you feel like your always walking on eggshells around someone you care about this book is your answer!! It gives you insight on their mindset and it's an easy read! Very informative!! I'm impressed by the authors knowledge!!!!

This book has helped me a lot to process through my issues and think through how I got here. I highly recommend you get this book!

this book has proven to be an excellent resource for family members and co-workers who have expressed some frustrations in their relationships with individuals with BPD. it provides helpful background information to help people understand the problem and conceptualize it. it provides realistic exercises and suggested approaches that usually seem to be very helpful in relating with individuals with BPD. if one book to provide, i prefer this book over the other eggshell book in that it is better received, more understandable, and more useful. some patients' loved ones take it and hide it for a while as they begin reading it. almost all find that eventually it is most effective when there is real cooperation between partners on learning new, more effective ways of relating. i've given out at least one dozen copies of this book and it is very popular. i believe it is well worth the price, new, given the tools and hope that it can provide.

We found out the hard way, my son's soon to be X-wife has this disorder, but she kept it really well hidden. After 4 1/2 years of marriage to someone that my son thought had low self esteem and a bad temper that he made allowances for was found to be someone he did not even know. She was seeking attention from other men from the start. When he found out and confronted her, she began accusing him of things and placing the blame everywhere but on her.

Great book if you are suffering because of family members with BPD, I didn't even know about the disorder, a family friend who is a therapist recommended this book and it's been so helpful. I feel empowered, thank you!

The title captures it exactly. This is the workbook for the book by the same name. Together they are a bright light in the dark for those dealing with people with borderline personality. Whenever the phrase "walking on eggshells" is used to describe dealing with someone, it should be seen as an immediate giant flashing signal. These 2 books are a big help for people finding themselves captured in the web of a person with borderline personality. All those behaviors and actions that seem to defy logic and engender self-doubt in the non-borderline half of the relationship, along with the feeling of needing to be responsible for "making it right," are identified. Guidance on how to deal with all of the damaging dynamics are also covered. This was purchased on behalf of someone caught up in the spider's web of a relationship.

I bought this workbook and the book Stop Walking on Eggshells. The workbook is a self help book for the caregiver, spouce, or partner of a person with Borderline Personality Disorder. There is information on the disorder and it goes through symptoms of BPD and how the person with BPD may react in various situation and what the person without the disorder can do to handle themselves around the person with BPD. Taking care of oneself is #1 which is making the BPD take responsibility for their own lives. It is pretty detailed and an easy read.

This workbook is exactly what I needed to learn about this topic. Included many helpful checklists and examples from different points of view. I gained a much deeper understanding from the side of loved ones and those who may be symptomatic. Offers advice to manage expectations and ways to optimize interaction with people exhibiting BPD behaviors.
