About this ebook

The symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) include severe mood shifts, unfounded accusations and wildly inappropriate displays of anger, a range of self-destructive behaviors, and frantic efforts to avoid abandonment. For the friends and families of people with BPD, The Stop Walking on Eggshells Workbook supports and reinforces the ideas in its partner book Stop Walking on Eggshells.

The Stop Walking on Eggshells Workbook can be used by itself, or as an accompaniment to the first book. A practical guide to successfully navigating life with someone with BPD, it’s chock full of worksheets, checklists, and exercises to help them apply what they’ve learned to their own relationship. It includes a form to help to fill in when looking for a clinician, a list of phrases to use, and a glossary of BPD-related terms. The book is easy to read and right to the point.

Ratings and reviews

This book helps show how complex & difficult it is for those who live w/ BPD, but, there are some facts that are out-dated, and or proven not to be true. I think this book sort of adds to the stigmas of BPD & talks down on individuals with Borderline. There are some helpful tips & it helps loved ones of a borderline in some ways. So all in all, it was okay. I just know that I have read better books on BPD.

I recently discovered that I am not crazy as I have been made out to be. ..I felt/feel so alone...but having this book to read and learn from is a great start! ! Thank you so much!!!

Read the introduction & im speechless....love it!!!!!
