About this listen

Has separation anxiety, fear of abandonment, self-harm, and emotional instability prevented you from experiencing what should have been the typical life of a "normal" person?

Have negative thoughts assaulted you on every side, taking control, and proving stubbornly resistant to all attempts to drive them away? Have you had emotions that sometimes you can't even name?

Anger, fear, sadness and shame are notoriously difficult emotions to manage as nature has forged their purpose purely to protect us. Sometimes trauma can interfere with your ability to regulate your emotions, amplifying them and generating devastating effects for yourself and for others.

If you live with a Borderline Disorder, you will likely have been prey to intense and fluctuating emotions, struggling every day with troubling thoughts and behavior; finding difficulties being understood by others and being troubled in your relationships.

Borderline Personality Disorders are officially recognized as DSM 5 and still remain a stigma, fueled by ignorance and misinformation that causes unnecessary and undeserved shame and isolation for its victims.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, has rapidly become one of the most popular and most effective treatments for the range of mental health conditions that are rooted in out-of-control emotions.

DBT was created for the treatment of individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts, but has now matured into a treatment for a whole range of other conditions that involve dysfunctional emotional regulation. It is currently considered the "gold standard" for Borderline Personality Disorders and has even been used in the treatment of substance abuse and eating disorders.

I recommend that you listen to this audiobook if, in the last three months, you have found yourself overpowered by:

  • Anxiety, depression, and anger, often for reasons that others find difficult to understand or that they consider futile.
  • Intense or uncontrollable emotional explosions.
  • Instability in interpersonal relationships and self-esteem.
  • Concerns about abandonment.
  • Feeling desperately misunderstood.
  • Feelings of helplessness and despair.
  • Practices of self-harm and notions of suicide.
  • Doubts about yourself and your sanity.
  • And many others...

Do the following symptoms sound familiar for you?

You should address these issues by:

  • Listening to those who understand this problem and have experienced the dynamics just listed.
  • Informing yourself: read articles, watch videos, and access people who have the expertise to alleviate the destructive damage that emotional storms can create.

This audiobook will most likely not be "the complete cure" for all your problems. But i guarantee that if you listen and listen again every single section carefully, absorb all the advice and apply the techniques provided by this manual, you will immediately feel a sensation of relief, and see noticeable improvements in every aspect of your life as the days progress.

this is a book about how to identify ptsd, not a dbt book.

I dislike that there was no dbt therapy mentioned throughout this book. it's not a self help book and that's what it appears to be.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
