The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook: An Integrative Program to Understand and Manage Your BPD

I know many of you will want to see examples of some of the exercises in this book, and there are MANY. I’m about a quarter of the way through it now and I find it to be very well written and easy to digest. One thing I would recommend is giving yourself time to reflect after each chapter and the accompanying exercises. It can be a lot to take in and you will have many “aha” moments as the exercises in this book help you connect the dots between your present and past behaviors to the way you process your emotions. This can be overwhelming at times but will also leave you feeling at peace as you gain a new understanding and empathy for yourself and your actions. A word of caution: You should only buy this book and complete the exercises inside if you’re willing to be brutally honest with yourself and view your behaviors from a completely objective standpoint. You won’t get much out of this if you try to fool yourself into denying that you have negative behavioral patterns OR beat yourself up for not being perfect. Have some compassion for yourself and try to enjoy discovering patterns in your thinking and behaviors.

This book is incredible, it is easy to understand and honestly takes away all of the stigma around bpd. I no longer feel ashamed of having bpd because of this book, it validates my experiences and gives me so much optimism about getting better and overcoming bpd. I also recommend the author’s- Dr Fox’s YouTube channel it’s been life changing for me and it makes me feel so understood.

If you're willing to put the effort in, no matter how slowly you progress or how often you wanna sit down with this, buy it. I'm so happy I did, this workbook helped me understand my behaviours and patterns so much better and I'm much better than before I got this. There's no pressure on how quickly you finish the chapters - I've been working on mine for about a year and still have loads left, which is fantastic. Thank you <3

However, having read the 7 key symptoms of borderline in chapter 1 I realised that I most likely do not have this disorder. I could just about pick 2 of the symptoms but im really enjoying working through the excercise regardless. It’s a good book to use to reflect on yourself thoroughly.

Incredible book but unfortunately my partner with BPD never used it. I'm sure wirh study it would of really helped him.

I'm part way through this after being recently diagnosed, and already I felt compelled to share a positive review. It's just fantastic. I've been working through a short course DBT programme with a therapist, but this book is even better. The way it explains everything, keeps you engaged, gets you to explore things... It's just brilliant! My only advice would be to buy the paper copy rather than the kindle version just because there's so much for you to fill in, and that's an important part. Definitely worth a try!

Such a good book. Has helped me so much. Made me realise my root problem and I was able to work and change my approach to every day situations

😊

I absolutely love it. It is perfect because I was recently diagnosed with BPD and this book has exercises that help you understand BPD. It's a great tool to use along with therapy.

helpful and fun to do ; full of information and tools, easy to use

The book is not helpful for me, unlike other books I read to this topic

if you’re struggling with a fresh diagnosis, i would 10000% recommend this book. it helped me in my darkest chapter. it helped me figure out more about my diagnosis and really helped to understand myself much better
