Borderline Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I'm just skimming 'I Hate You..." and "Sometimes I Act Crazy..." both because they have some nomenclature and familiar language and territory that's good for me right now. I need to be in this zone anyway for a while. It's like knowing there are 'others out there' by reading these books. I'll tell you, it's like opening the book, flipping around and just knowing your'e not a good match, the same way it happens when you go to a therapist for the first time. I've been dealing with BPD and other 'conditions' since forever. This is like milk therapy, drinking some to settle your stomach. I know that doesn't make sense, it couldn't possibly unless you were me. "

" Not the easiest thing to read in the world but overall I enjoyed it. I found the SET communication thing to be helpful in the future for many situations, although, I doubt I will remember what the letters stand for. I like some of the questions that it raised about society and loved that it had actual accounts of patients with BPD. "

" I liked this book because it was insightful and helpful for one who knows people personally that struggle with this mental condition. "

" Wow hit me with a brick. "

" I litte eerie how similar it was to an important relationship I had. "

" So many 'a-ha!' moments while reading this... "

" Book was awesome in helping me deal with people who were suffering some kind of crisis. "

" This was the ONLY book I could find when searching for something to help me understand my loved one's Borderline Personality Disorder. The book is amazingly detailed, easy to understand with numerous examples and suggestions. "

" Have you ever met a borderline? This book is a great guideline - it helps understand and deal with these interesting and difficult group of people. "

" I don't know if "really liked it" is an accurate assesment of this book. Helpful, yes. A quick'n'dirty intro to the world of the borderline personality. Now I just need to work on my own countertransference issues! "

" This book really needs to be updated. The title is compelling, but it's really out of date. It needs a new edition for it to be useful. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. This is greaaaaaaat. BM "

" Completely not what I expected... "

" its a pretty clinical dry read. not sure what I'm looking for ...just nosey I guess. and happy to report this ain't me babe oh no no no it ain't me babe. it ain't me I'm lookin for. "

" comes in handy in my line of work.... "

" my friend michie has borderline personality disorder. this book explained a lot years ago when therapists avoided treating people with this diagnosis. "

" client's family members love this book. easy to read, easy to understand. validating for those living with someone with borderline features for sure. "

" There is a lot of good information here but I think the book is written more for psychologists and psychiatrists than for the every day person even though that is who it's mostly marketed to. "

" Helpful, but clinical and dated. "

" learned a lot. Can get dry at times "

" I feel sad for anyone with a BPD diagnosis who might pick up this book & read it. It was helpful for me in that it validated my suspicions that someone close to me probably has BPD. "

" More case reviews would have been enjoyable. This is not a layman's book, although that appears to be the general audience. It covers very briefly the best way to deal with someone with BPD if they are an important person in your life. "

" Gave me a clear idea of BPD. I'm not sure how factually updated and accurate this book currently is but it was very readable to me and, sadly, relatable. "

" Being very interested in psychology, I learned a lot about a mental illness I wasn't very familiar with. "

" Very good for organising / understanding symptoms, etc. but completely lacked any sensitivity, and I truly resent this habit of talking about people with BPD as if they're impossible and not worth bothering with. If you do that, you're basically saying, 'Go ahead and kill yourself.' "
