The BPD Guided Journal: Your Space to Release Intense Emotions, Nurture Self-Compassion, and Take Charge of Borderline Personality Disorder (The New Harbinger Journals for Change Series)

Journal your way to lasting emotional balance, self-compassion, and better relationships.

If you’ve been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you should know that BPD doesn’t have to define you. Like many mental health issues, BPD manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. You may struggle with relationships. And you may not see yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you’ve written about your life. So, how can you take charge of your own story, and start on the road to healing?

This compassionate guided journal offers a personalized, constructive, and ultimately healing approach to managing your symptoms. Through the act of writing, you’ll gain insight into the four elements of BPD—emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships—and find powerful tools to balance your emotions, reverse unhealthy habits that get in the way of meaningful relationships, and move past feelings of shame and regret to cultivate self-compassion.

You’ll also learn to:

• Recognize the influence you have over your own life
• Examine your beliefs and behaviors, including how you respond to others
• Connect your present story to the future you envision for yourself
• Cultivate emotional control, self-compassion, and self-acceptance
• Create positive and lasting relationships

 

You are more than your BPD. This guided journal will help you gain new and empowering insight into yourself and your unique mind, so you’ll feel equipped to step out into a world where you know you belong, and where nothing can stand in your way.

Written by renowned mental health and wellness experts, New Harbinger’s Journals for Change combine evidence-based psychology with proven-effective guided journaling techniques to help you make lasting personal change—one page at a time.
