This book is intended for family members and close friends of people with Borderline Personality Disorder seeking to better understand and support their loved ones while managing their own wellbeing.

Randi Kreger's communication techniques, grounded in the latest research, provide family members with the essential ability to regain a genuine, meaningful relationship with their loved one with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Description

Gentle counsel and realistic advice for families contending with one of today's most misunderstood forms of mental illness.

For family members of people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), home life is routinely unpredictable and frequently unbearable. Extreme mood swings, impulsive behaviours, unfair blaming and criticism, and suicidal tendencies—common conduct among those who suffer from the disorder—leave family members feeling confused, hurt, and helpless.

In Stop Walking on Eggshells, Randi Kreger's pioneering first book which sold more than 340,000 copies, she and co-author Paul T. Mason outlined the fundamental differences in the way that people with BPD relate to the world. Now, with The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder, Kreger takes readers to the next level by offering them five straightforward tools to organise their thinking, learn specific skills, and focus on what they need to do to get off the emotional rollercoaster:

Take care of yourself
Uncover what keeps you feeling stuck
Communicate to be heard
Set limits with love
Reinforce the right behaviours

Together, the steps provide a clear-cut system designed to help friends and family reduce stress, improve their relationship with their borderline loved one, enhance their problem-solving skills and minimise conflict, and feel more self-assured about setting limits.
