About this listen

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be intensely caring, warm, smart, and funny, but their behavior often drives away those closest to them. If you're struggling in a tumultuous relationship with someone with BPD, this is the book for you. Dr. Shari Manning helps you understand why your spouse, family member, or friend has such out-of-control emotions and how to change the way you can respond. Learn to use simple yet powerful strategies that can defuse crises, establish better boundaries, and radically transform your relationship. Empathic, hopeful, and science based, this is the first book for family and friends grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the most effective treatment for BPD.

I’ve read a handful of self help books on bpd.
This is hands down the best book I’ve read on the subject. Instead of reading facts on the illness you’re learning ways to cope and adapt, To build and overcome.
I really wish I came across this book sooner because I truly believe this book would have saved my relationship.
Also this book isn’t only for someone dealing with a loved one with bpd, if you have bpd read it! It’s good to know your loved ones perspective.
Also I highly recommended for couples with worn down relationships to go through this book together, it just might save your relationship.
A1 will definitely read this book time and time again.

This book was very informative and helpful. Manning does an excellent job of providing real life examples - all of which I found some tendencies in my loved one. It’s written from a place of compassion, not frustration which is where I was at when I started listening to this book. Manning puts behaviours into context and perspective and provides very useful tools to help you though some challenging situations in a more peaceful way. Her techniques will certainly take practice but I’m already calmer in my interactions with my BPD loved one which I’m certain will help her manage her condition better as well.
