Consequences

[Lshpb]

Just starting to learn about BPD and reading SWOE. Looking for information about how to handle blowups by my nearly 17 year old daughter before she starts DBT.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi Lshbp

Welcome to the bpdfamily 

Im sorry that yoir circumstances with your daughter have brought you here. However you habe come to a place where you will find much support. Parents here are going through similar experiences.

There is a wealth of information on the board to the right  Personally I have really enjoyed reading " Loving Someone With Bordeline Peraonality Disorder" by Shari Manning. She offers real insight into why our children are this way including rages. Most importantly strategies based on DBT, so its great that your daughter is starting there.

We would love to hear more about your journey and how your daughter progresses with therapy. Please keep sharing as we are all here with you.
