Overview
In this compassionate guide, Jerold Kreismanāauthor of I Hate You, Donāt Leave Meāoffers a powerful set of tools to help you express yourself, set boundaries, and cultivate healthy communication with a loved one who is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
If you have a loved one with BPD, you need real, proven-effective strategies to help you navigate the intense emotions and conflict that can arise in daily interactions and conversations. People with BPD often feel anger, pain, and hurt from a history of invalidation and disappointment, and their difficulty in regulating emotions can lead to moments of lashing out that can confuse and upset those around them.
Written by a psychiatrist with more than 40 years of experience in treating BPD, Talking to a Loved One with Borderline Personality DisorderĀ offers a breakthrough, compassionate approach to communicating with a loved one who has BPD. The SET (support, empathy, truth) method outlined in this book is a powerful and simple tool that will allow you to honestly address your loved oneās demands, assertions, and feelings while still maintaining appropriate boundaries. Each step builds on the last, helping you build up a consistent and reliable communication process.
In this book, youāll find a review of BPD and the common communication problems inherent in the disorder. Youāll learn how SET can address these issues. And finally, youāll find detailed examples of specific scenarios that can arise when talking to a loved one with BPD.
Rememberāvalidation isnāt the same as agreement. You can help your loved one feel validated while still maintaining your own boundaries. This essential guide will show you how.
