thoughts that keep you up at night and miserable during the day? Do
these thoughts make you feel sad, angry, anxious, or ashamed?

balancing your moods and managing your symptoms? This helpful guide

face every day, and offers accessible, evidence-based solutions to

self-talk, feelings of paranoia, and self-invalidation. If you're

If you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), you know that
the intensity of your emotions can be suffocating, and can lead to
self destructive behavior and relationship difficulties.
Fluctuating emotions, black and white thinking, and a tendency to
self-harm can make BPD especially difficult to treat. As an answer
to the lack of effective treatment available, dialectical behavior
therapy (DBT) was founded by Marsha Lineham-who suffered from BPD
herself-to treat BPD with a combination of behavioral science and
concepts of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Since its
creation, DBT has proven extremely successful in the treatment of
BPD. Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder offers a new,
mindfulness-based approach to emotion regulation and the common
symptoms associated with BPD. If you are suffering from BPD, the
practice of mindfulness can offer comfort, calm, and hope. This
book will look at the ways in which mindfulness can be used to
address the specific symptoms of BPD, teaching the basics of
mindfulness, providing specific mindfulness exercises, application
to the symptoms of BPD, and examples from patients as they have
begun the path out of suffering using mindfulness. If you are ready
to change your life and minimize your symptoms, this book is a
powerful, evidence-based tool that can help.
