About this listen

Do you feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to? Are you the focus of intense, violent, and irrational rages? Do you feel 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.

Stop Walking on Eggshells has already helped more than a million 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. This fully revised third edition has been updated with the very latest BPD research on comorbidity, extensive new information about narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), the effectiveness of schema therapy, and coping and communication skills you can use to stabilize your relationship with the BPD or NPD sufferer in your life. This compassionate guide will enable you to:

  • 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

When you love someone with BPD it can be terrifying at times and very hard to explain the experience with others. This book gave me the perspective and tools to understand my experiences and keep myself safe. The book also represents people with BPD as whole people and helped me reconcile the fact that I can maintain boundaries whilst also loving someone with the condition. I also appreciate that the authors understand the severity and don't mess around, they tell you the specifics of what to say and do in many extreme situations (threats of suicide when breaking up, false legal accusations, violence, etc). So often these situations are presented as impossible to navigate, but the book makes it clear that you can. If you love someone with BPD I couldn't recommend this book more.

While I don't doubt wholesome intentions on behalf of the authors, the framing of this book is horrible.. It divides people into 'us' and 'them'. 'They' are monsters, and 'we' are the victims of their outbursts and atrocities. It doesn't so much promote understanding, as suggest we learn coping strategies and create mental barriers to shield ourselves from these broken people in our lives. Or abandon them, for our own emotional safety..

If you have any baseline of empathy or emotional intelligence, this book probably isn't for you. If you want a book to encourage your feelings of victimhood at the hands of an NPD/ BPD sufferer.. read on..

Frames BPD/ NPD sufferers like another species..
