When you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), your emotions are always very intense . . . Relationships with others are sources of suffering in your life . . . You may also make impulsive decisions that you later regret. Are you ready for help in improving your daily life?

• regulate your emotions;
• reduce your impulsivity;
• improve your relationships with others;

Interactive, informative elements appear on virtually every page of this engaging book. A matrix is used throughout to help you document your emotional state and behaviors associated with distressing feelings, situations, and relationships. Vignettes about a fictional character, Candace, appear in every chapter to illustrate both adaptive and maladaptive responses in various scenarios. The book also incorporates principles from acceptance and commitment therapy, and quotations and key points help reinforce the lessons.

Along with therapy, this book can help you overcome your everyday problems and live a life that has meaning for you.
