Do you feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to? Are you the focus of intense, violent, and irrational rages? Do you often feel as if you are "walking on eggshells" to avoid the next confrontation? If the answer is "yes," someone you care about may have borderline personality disorder (BPD)--a mood disorder that causes negative self-image, emotional instability, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships.

Based on the self-help classic, Stop Walking on Eggshells, this workbook offers step-by-step guidance and skills to help you deal with high-conflict people, improve communication, and set healthy boundaries. This fully revised and updated second edition also includes new information about narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and treatment options grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). You'll also find practical strategies to help you set limits, reduce reactivity, communicate without fighting, and take responsibility for what you can control.

This workbook will help you:

• Make sense out of the chaos
• Stand up for yourself and assert your needs
• Defuse arguments and conflicts
• Protect yourself and others from violent behavior

The Stop Walking on Eggshells Workbook has helped countless people with friends and family members suffering from BPD understand this difficult disorder, set boundaries, and help their loved ones stop relying on dangerous BPD behaviors.
