Sinopsis

Powerful skills to help you cultivate unshakable self-respect, self-love, self-compassion, and self-worth.

If you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), you likely struggle with unstable relationships, or live with a constant fear that you'll be abandoned. You may experience unexpected mood swings, explosive anger, or intense emotions. And to make matters worse, you may have feelings of shame, guilt, or low self-esteem as a result of your diagnosis. You aren't alone, and there are skills you can learn to manage your symptoms and cultivate unwavering self-compassion and self-forgiveness. This workbook can help you get started.

Grounded in powerful and proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and self-compassion, this step-by-step workbook offers evidence-based strategies to manage intense emotions and cultivate the self-acceptance needed to thrive. Using the core skills of DBT--mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation--you'll learn to work through difficult thoughts, stay grounded in the present moment, and improve your relationships with others. You'll also find self-compassion exercises to help you heal the stigma, shame, and feelings of unworthiness associated with BPD.

More and more, studies show there is a powerful link between self-compassion and emotional health. This workbook will show you how to forgive and love yourself, and build the skills needed to live a vital, fulfilling life.

In 2007, she founded the Florida Borderline Personality Disorder Association--a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing advocacy, education, and support for people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and their families. As a licensed clinical social worker, she provides comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) services through her office in Waco, TX. She is also interested in evidence-based treatments like mentalization-based treatment and logotherapy.

Debbie Corso is a mental health blogging pioneer, courageously chronicling her journey while lighting a torch to provide hope to a severely emotionally wounded community. She has a BS in behavioral science, communications, and English from the New York Institute of Technology in interdisciplinary studies, as well as a certificate in early childhood development. She is a certified Emotional Confidence Life Coach, and is also in recovery from borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Through hard, consistent work using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), she no longer meets the criteria to be considered "borderline." Her work as an intake coordinator and case manager at a nonprofit organization, working closely with children at risk for abuse and neglect, was the catalyst that propelled her to document and share her powerful journey through her blog, and hopeful and encouraging books on overcoming the oppressive symptoms of BPD. She currently cofacilitates worldwide DBT psychoeducational courses online at www.emotionallysensitive.com, and is author of Stronger Than BPD. Corso resides in Northern California.
