A breakthrough, evidence-based workbook for borderline personality disorder (BPD), with practical skills to help you regulate emotions, improve relationships, and build a life worth living. If you've recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you may be feeling overwhelmed, scared, angry, ashamed, or uncertain about what comes next. You may even find yourself searching online, only to be met with frightening stories and worst-case scenarios. Take a deep breath. BPD is treatable, recovery is possible, and this workbook will help guide you every step of the way. Despite what you may have read or been told, BPD is not the worst thing that can happen to you. Like many mental health conditions, it exists on a spectrum, and everyone's experience is different. What do you all have in common? You may have difficulty regulating emotions, navigating relationships, and managing impulsive behaviors. And you may even have trouble seeing yourself clearly―continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you’ve written about your life. So, how can you make sense of it all and start on the road to healing? Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, this groundbreaking workbook meets you where you are, and combines the most effective evidence-based treatments for BPD, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy. You'll gain a deeper understanding of your diagnosis, identify emotional triggers, strengthen emotion regulation skills, improve relationships, and develop a personalized path toward lasting recovery. In this compassionate workbook, you'll learn how to: Understand BPD and how it affects your thoughts, emotions, and relationships Identify emotional triggers and develop healthier coping strategies Build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills Challenge unhelpful thinking patterns using DBT, ACT, and CBT techniques Clarify your values and create meaningful, lasting change Build a personalized roadmap for long-term recovery and well-being Your diagnosis may have shaped how you see yourself and the world―but it doesn't define who you are or who you can become. With this workbook as your guide, you'll gain the tools, confidence, and hope to move beyond surviving and begin building a life that feels stable, meaningful, and authentically your own. Review: This Workbook is Outstanding - and That's Not Just my BPD Idealization Talking ;) - First, thank you Dr. Fox. You have helped me work with my therapy team to find a diagnosis that fits because watching your videos on YouTube encouraged me to be honest with myself and my doctors without fear of stigma and failure. Your compassion and belief that people with BPD/people on the BPD spectrum can seek treatment to effectively work toward remission and reduction in symptoms felt singular when researching BPD. Now for my fellow BPD'ers/potential BPD'ers/BPD Spectrum folks out there: This workbook SUCKS. It's also the best thing that has happened to my therapy journey. Anytime you want to put this book down, it's like Dr. Fox sees the future - there is almost always a moment when I want to chuck it across the room and then there's a sentence that reads, "I know you want to chuck this book across the room right now. Changing thoughts is HARD, but you've got this." Or "You did a hard thing, you should definitely eat a piece of cheesecake." I'm paraphrasing, but it is UNCANNY that he knows when you're going to start ramping up and puts a word of encouragement in the chapter. Like, guys, THIS WORKBOOK WILL NOT ABANDON YOU AND WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO EAT CAKE. This book will also make you feel ALL KINDS OF WAYS. It'll make you write down stuff that is HARD and EMBARRASSING and FRUSTRATING. It might trigger an episode. It might trigger five episodes. Dr. Fox legit knows this, because therapy is HARD. There are breaks built into the book and he repeatedly reassures you that you are totally, completely, 100% okay to put the book down and walk away and use a coping strategy and come back when you're ready. But, here's the rub: If you keep doing the work, especially if you're taking it to therapy with you, you read back the stuff you wrote down that was hard and embarrassing and frustrating and you start gaining CLARITY and INSIGHT and TOOLS to manage your emotions. As you learn more about yourself, you gain knowledge and skills to challenge false beliefs, recognize triggers, categorize feelings and relationships, and build strategies that will legit set a course for better days with fewer episodes. Those moments of recognition and discovery are called "breakthroughs" I guess, but they legit feel like a veil lifting and it's squirrely feeling knowing that our brains are super great at hiding things about ourselves as a protective mechanism. I'm not 100% better. I'm not even 100% done with my workbook, but I feel like I now have the words and the homework to effectively communicate with my therapist. That is priceless. Buy the book. Watch Dr. Fox's YouTube channel. p.s. I haven't devalued this book and I've been using it for four months. ;) Review: Insightful, practical, and genuinely helpful for real-world coping - The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook: An Integrative Program to Understand and Manage Your BPD is one of those self-help guides that actually balances education with actionable tools. It doesn’t just tell you what BPD is—it walks you through how it shows up in thinking, emotions, and relationships, and gives you grounded exercises to work with those patterns. Therapists and clients alike recommend this type of workbook because it’s structured without being dry, and supportive without sugarcoating the challenges of BPD.

Reduce BPD Symptoms
This workbook is a fantastic resource for anyone with BPD or even just someone dealing with a few BPD symptoms they’d like to work on. It’s organized into several helpful sections and includes engaging stories and thought-provoking questions that can really help you better understand your symptoms, thought patterns, and behaviors, and how to make positive changes. I use this workbook together with my BPD card deck, and I've already seen some progress! It’s definitely worth the money, and I highly recommend it!

I WAS WRONG... BOOK IS GREAT
I left a horrible review for this book because I was looking for quick solutions to my pain. This book is to be read while you are in WISE MIND. NOT EMOTIONAL MIND. complete game changer. The logic... the way the author understands your feelings while going through the book, and actually validates them is mind blowing. Eye opening book. I'm only a quarter of the way through. BUY THIS BOOK. To the author and seller: I apologize for leaving a horrible review at first. I was looking for the book to save me WHILE in emotional mind. Not what the book is for. I cant wait to finish this book. Its also very easy to read quickly through. I hate reading because it takes forever but if you do a chapter a day (anywhere from 3-5 pages) then you're good. You literally want to keep reading more because it understands you and you felt heard. EYE OPENING BOOK.

Phenomenal book for anyone looking to start their healing
I can't believe Daniel J. Fox only came out with this book in May 2019, meaning this tool is extremely recent! I believe it will be a HUGE tool for anyone looking to work through their BPD, traumas, and past triggers. The book is valuable in that it requires you to actively engage and explore your issues/BPD, and it does so in a very structured way. I previously thought that just reading up on BPD and healing methods here and there could be enough to aid in my healing, but after getting my hands on this book, I realized it takes proactive work to heal, and this book does just that. This book is an even bigger help for those that are unsure about entering therapy or are not yet comfortable seeing mental health providers. It's extremely useful for those taking initiative to independently figure things out on their own at the present time. I saw this book mentioned maybe a month ago on a subreddit and finally bit the bullet when I watched Daniel J. Fox's videos and saw how non-judgmental, non-stigmatizing, and helpful he was. I bet the only reason this book is not so widespread is because it is so new. Highly recommend.
