CONGRATULATIONS TO JEFF RIGGENBACH AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER TOOLBOX ON FINISHING AS A SILVER FINALIST IN BOTH PSYCHOLOGY AND SELF-HELP AT THE 2017 IBPA BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARDS!
-Do you feel misunderstood?
-Do mood swings hit you quickly and intensely?
-Are you susceptible to getting your “buttons pushed” more often than others?
-Can you love your partner with all your heart and passionate intensity one moment, and hate them just as much only an hour later?
-Do you constantly have a nagging voice in the back of your mind telling you someone you care about is going to leave you, and that you will never be able to make it in life without them?
If the answer to the majority of these questions is “yes,” it is likely that you have borderline personality disorder, or BPD.
But there is hope. And good news — BPD is a highly treatable disorder.
Drawing from a variety of evidence-based approaches, the Borderline Personality Disorder Toolbox is a real-world self-help workbook. Escaping generalizations and stereotypes, this complete guide is filled with practical explanations, along with over 100 worksheets and activities to improve behavior. Highlights include:
-Empower yourself so others can’t push your buttons
-Tips to cope with intense feelings
-Retrain your brain to constructively deal with distorted thoughts
-Take control of your emotions before they take control of you
-Tools to create a happier, healthier and more productive life!
I was recently diagnosed with BPD and was feeling at a loss as to where to go from my diagnosis. This workbook, I feel, does more for me than does my therapy because it delves deep into me and my individuality and what’s going on with me personally. It’s actually fun to fill in the blanks as well and to have to really think.
I found this book dry and not helpful in understanding. I have BPD and did not find this book relatable.
Great therapeutic tool for mental health professionals
Easy to use and understand book.
I have been a DBT therapist for years and have lots of handouts and worksheets. This book was a great addition and not just a repeat of other stuff reformatted. It is presented as self-help but is very useful in therapy.
