Self Help Books

Postby sealion » Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:32 pm

Hey everyone,

I really want to try to find a few good books to help me understand myself, my behaviors, etc.

So, what books do you like and why? What workbooks are good?

Hi

I don't know about workbooks exactly, but books about BPD that I have found useful are;

- Stop Walking on Eggshells (useful for partners of Borderlines too)

- Get Me Out of Here

- I Hate You; Don't Leave Me

I've read more than just those ones, but they're the ones I've found helpful.

Right now in therapy I am working with the book "Reinventing Your Life" by Jeffrey E Young and Janet S Klosko

It's really helped me so far in terms of self awareness, it's just a matter of me actually doing the work in the book to know if it is really beneficial or not.
I already know where to find the answer... It's under my skin, and that's why I can't stop.
