Borderline Personality - The Ultimate Self-Help Guide
Brief Book Synopsis
Stevie White Self Help Author had strong intention with his book ‘Borderline Personality - The Ultimate Self-Help Guide.’ This was to offer people who have been professionally diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (often referred to as BPD) and those close by - to gain a better understanding of the disorder; to enhance healing’ and to improve their quality of life.
BPD is the most common and most serious of the known personality disorders and it’s a mental health disorder that’s well noted by unstable moods, behaviors and relationships. It is also a condition of the brain and mind, and there’s a common thread of thought among the field scholars, that the condition is characterized by ‘emotional dysregulation.’ In other words, a professionally diagnosed borderline patient, will often show ‘over-reactivity’ or ‘hyperactivity of emotional responses’.
His rigourous book research also suggests that this disorder is characterized by the hallmark of emotional disorders, frequent intense negative emotions and adverse reactions to them. In addition, there can be a high level of neuroticism’ and risk of self-harming behaviors.
In his book, he includes the latest up-to-date research provided by high-end field and
subject experts; such as Dr. John Gunderson (e.g. known as the father of BPD). Also, an overview of the disorder and some of the main causes and
common issues, such as patients having to deal with stigma’ and discrimination’ are well explained.
It provides a snapshot of the major symptoms and the risk factors associated with them, and the need for understanding the triggers for BPD symptoms is discussed at length.
The second part of the book is heavily focused on treatment strategies - both, from a medical and self-help perspective. A stand-alone chapter on stress awareness and how to manage it, is provided and within the final stage of the book, Stevie considers the importance of Spirituality and harnessing spiritual practices, such as prayer, meditation and interacting with nature.
All of which, can assist sufferers to reduce or mitigate potential adverse impacts from symptoms and improve their interpersonal relations with those close by.
