Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder, livre ebook

“Until relatively recently, there has been little to relieve the pronounced suffering of those living with borderline personality disorder. In their lucid and deeply compassionate book, Blaise Aguirre and Gillian Galen explore how mindfulness—the essential strategy in dialectical behavior therapy, developed by preeminent psychologist Marsha Linehan—can open the doors to genuine healing. This informative and accessible guide includes a rich set of mindfulness exercises and short case studies to bring inner ease, resourcefulness, and freedom. Whether you experience borderline symptomology, have loved ones who struggle with this condition, or are a therapist seeking to enhance your skills, this book will provide you with invaluable support and inspiration.” —Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge “Finally, a practical guide for helping individuals improve their BPD symptoms by applying the core DBT skill of mindfulness.

This is a book many people suffering from BPD can use to improve the quality of their lives.” —Michael Roy, LCSW, founder and executive director of Clearview Women’s Center for Borderline Personality Disorder “Aguirre and Galen have written a lucid, elegant, and practical book.
