The Self-Compassion Workbook for BPD
Powerful skills to help you cultivate unshakable self-respect, self-love, self-compassion, and self-worth.
If you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), you likely struggle with unstable relationships, or live with a constant fear that you'll be abandoned. You may experience unexpected mood swings, explosive anger, or intense emotions. And to make matters worse, you may have feelings of shame, guilt, or low self-esteem as a result of your diagnosis. You aren't alone, and there are skills you can learn to manage your symptoms and cultivate unwavering self-compassion and self-forgiveness. This workbook can help you get started.
Grounded in powerful and proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and self-compassion, this step-by-step workbook offers evidence-based strategies to manage intense emotions and cultivate the self-acceptance needed to thrive. Using the core skills of DBT--mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation--you'll learn to work through difficult thoughts, stay grounded in the present moment, and improve your relationships with others. You'll also find self-compassion exercises to help you heal the stigma, shame, and feelings of unworthiness associated with BPD.
More and more, studies show there is a powerful link between self-compassion and emotional health. This workbook will show you how to forgive and love yourself, and build the skills needed to live a vital, fulfilling life.
