Title: Any books? Post by: FigureIt on February 23, 2015, 07:40:45 AM How to not be frustrated & loose ourselves due to their disorder?
My uBPDbf's actions can be so infuriating, how do I learn to not react? Title: Re: Any books? Post by: Cat Familiar on February 23, 2015, 09:58:55 AM I don't know if this is relevant to your situation, but my therapist recommended "How full is your bucket?" www.amazon.com/How-Full-Is-Your-Bucket/dp/1595620036
It is a very simple book but it brings your attention to interactions with others and whether they're fulfilling or draining. Good luck in your search for resources. Title: Re: Any books? Post by: new2pain on February 23, 2015, 12:53:02 PM I am currently reading, Get me out of here. My recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder.
I think its a good perspective from BPD side. Has anyone read this? Is it ok to share with BPDgf/ex? Title: Re: Any books? Post by: Mustbeabetterway on February 25, 2015, 03:35:43 PM I read all of the time. One simple, but helpful book for me is "Learning to Love Yourslef: Finding Your Self Worth". If you feel lost maybe it is because you have not been taking care, or loving yourself enough. In the past, I put my r/s ahead of my own needs. Not a good thing.
The other book that has been especially helpful is reviewed on this site. "Stop Caretaking the Borderline or NPD in Your Life". I don't know if you can learn not to react, but perhaps react in a way that does not invalidate. Good luck. if you read these books, post and tell if you found them helpful. Good luck! |
