The narration was boring and sometimes there was no separation from one part to the next. The information in this book is very helpful and gives me a feeling of hopefulness and manageability. I think this book is a good resource and I recommend this book.

Extremely helpful and actionable

The author described my family’s dynamics. Extremely insightful and very clear and actionable suggestions for navigating this life-long condition. Thank you. I wish I would have had this book when my daughter was a young teenager - or even younger. Looking back, I can see that as a young child she already was displaying many BPD traits. Thank you.
