Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook - by Suzette Bray (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Find calm, confidence, and reassurance as you build the skills to navigate borderline personality disorder

Did you know that the best and most thoroughly proven treatment for borderline personality disorder is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)? That's because it teaches you effective ways to accept and regulate your emotions so you can lessen the power they hold over you. By practicing the mindfulness and resilience that comes with DBT, it gets easier to communicate your needs, discover your sense of self, and maintain healthier relationships with the people in your life. And this workbook shows you how.

With clear explanations of each concept and a wide variety of write-in exercises and self-assessments, it's your guide to understanding your diagnosis, learning how to manage difficult situations in the moment, and making positive change in your life.

Advice from an expert--Author Suzette Bray is a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping adults, children, and families succeed with evidence-based treatments.

Actionable solutions--Go beyond just general therapy language with exercises and strategies you can implement right away in your daily life to manage BPD symptoms when they strike.

Get even more support--Complete this workbook on its own, or alongside the reflective writing prompts in the companion, Borderline Personality Disorder Journal.

Discover a treatment plan you can use on your own or with a therapist to take charge of your BPD!
