Emotionally, it got grueling at times- but more because it was a lot of information to digest with a lot of revelations. I did not find it blaming or condescending at all. The first few chapters go into the symptoms and diagnosis of BPD, and the next chapters work on the relationship, communication skills, and different therapies that are quite effective for treating BPD. I found the book very easy to read on an intellectual level, without a lot of psych jargon. The main emphasis of the book is basically teaching new skills for how to cope with a pwBPD, set boundaries, and to recognize and end codependent behavior in the non-BPD. It is really that powerful!Īs the cover states, it is written for those of us with a loved one with BPD- Borderline Personality Disorder. It was like I finally had a road map or a secret agent decoder ring. Every page I read brought more enlightenment, healing, and inner peace into my world. For the first time in years, I was able to make sense of the chaos and trauma that a relationship with a person with BPD creates. This book was truly a Godsend and I do not exaggerate when I say it changed my life.
