Based on the self-help classic, Stop Walking on Eggshells, this
essential guide offers powerful skills and strategies for parenting
a child of any age with borderline personality disorder
(BPD)-without sacrificing their family or themselves. If you have a
child with BPD, you are all-too-aware of the behavioral and
emotional issues that are linked to this disorder-including rages,
self-harm, sexual acting out, substance abuse, suicidal behaviors,
physical and emotional attacks, and more. Traditional parenting
strategies that work on other kids just don't work with a
borderline child. But you shouldn't lose hope. The good news is
that there are parenting strategies that do work. With this
comprehensive resource, you will learn all about borderline
personality disorder, how it shows up in children, adolescents, and
your adult children, how to obtain proper treatment, and how to
manage your child's condition at home. You'll find proven-effective
strategies to help you communicate and improve your relationship
with your child of any age, and, as a result, improve your own life
as a parent and an individual. You'll also find real stories and
advice from parents who have also experienced raising a child with
BPD. Most importantly, you'll learn how to maintain boundaries and
validate your child while also meeting your own needs. Whether your
child is 5 or 25, this book offers tools to help you and your
family thrive.
In this groundbreaking book, psychologist Daniel Lobel offers
essential skills based in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and
cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand your
daughter's disorder, define appropriate boundaries, put an end to
daily emergencies, and rebuild the family's structure from the
ground up. If you have a daughter with borderline personality
disorder (BPD), you may feel frustration, shame, and your family
may be at the breaking point dealing with angry outbursts, threats,
and constant emergencies. You may even feel guilty for not enjoying
spending time with your child--but how can you when her behavior is
abusive toward you and the rest of your family? You need solid
skills you can use now to help your daughter and hold your family
together. In this important guide, you'll learn real solutions and
strategies based in proven-effective DBT and CBT to help you
weather the storm of BPD and restore a sense of normalcy and
balance in your life. You'll find an overview of BPD so you can
better understand the driving forces behind your daughter's
difficult behavior. You'll discover how you can help your daughter
get the help she needs while also setting boundaries that foster
respect and self-care for you and others in your family. And, most
importantly, you'll learn "emergency parenting techniques" to help
you put a stop to abusive patterns and restore peace.
