THE BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER WORKBOOK
SUMMARY OF 7 KEY IDEAS

Audio & text in the Blinkist app
Key idea 1 of 7


WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME? TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR BPD.

Borderline Personality Disorder – or BPD for short – is characterized by
symptoms like emotional outbursts, self-harming behavior, and difficulties
forming stable relationships. 

For people affected, it can feel like BPD controls their entire life. But with
the right tools, it can become a very manageable disorder. 

This Blink will help you understand the roots of your BPD, so you can arm
yourself with proven tactics against destructive patterns. It will teach you to
recognize your emotional triggers, combat your dysfunctional beliefs, and
rebuild your relationships. 

Just a note before we begin: This guide does not pretend to replace therapy. It
is recommended that people suffering from BPD seek professional help. This guide
is meant to serve as a starting point or as support material in your healing
process.


WHAT IS BPD?

Before you begin to address this disorder, you need to understand it.

This is especially important for BPD, which is often mischaracterized and
misunderstood.

Borderline personality disorder, or BPD, is one of ten personality disorders
recognized by the DSM-5, the diagnostic manual for psychological professionals.
It affects around six percent of Americans – so you’re not alone!

The DSM-5 defines BPD as an inability to regulate behavior, thinking, and
responses to situations. This instability often manifests as problems with
relationships, self-image, and emotional outbursts.

Following are the nine official symptoms of BPD. You must meet at least five to
receive an official BPD diagnosis. Which ones apply to you?

Fear of abandonment – you frantically try to avoid people leaving you. 

Emotional reactivity – you often act impulsively based on intense emotions.

Unstable relationships – you have intense swings in how you view others. 

Unstable self-image – your sense of self is frequently shifting.

Self-harm & Suicidal behavior – you engage in or threaten self-harming or
suicidal gestures.

Feelings of emptiness – you often feel alone and empty.

Intense anger – you have emotional outbursts you can’t control.

Stress-related paranoia – when you're stressed, you feel like the world is out
to get you.

BPD symptoms show up differently and with different intensity for everyone.

Let’s consider an example. Betty is a 22-year-old woman who has trouble making
and keeping friends. She often feels alone and misunderstood. One day, she falls
head over heels in love with Steven. But when he takes too long to respond to a
long text, she abruptly breaks up with him. She starts calling him “the devil.”
After breaking up with Steven, Betty starts cutting her arms. When her coworkers
notice her scars, Betty finds the courage to seek treatment. She receives a BPD
diagnosis, which helps her begin healing.

As you can see, Betty displays the symptoms of unstable relationships,
self-harm, emotional reactivity, fear of abandonment, and feelings of emptiness.

What’s your story? To manage BPD, it is essential to identify your symptoms and
develop strategies tailored to them. Many people like Betty see improvement
through treatment. 

And with this guide, you are already on the right path! 


WHERE DOES BPD COME FROM?

Where does BPD come from? Research shows it likely stems from a combination of
genetic, environmental, and neurological factors.  

For instance, studies show that 37 percent to 60 percent of BPD cases may have a
hereditary component. However, a difficult childhood is very common among people
diagnosed with BPD. Many grew up in family environments characterized by abuse,
abandonment, and inconsistent affection.

RECOGNIZE YOUR TRIGGERS

People with BPD often exhibit beliefs, behaviors, and patterns that offer
short-term relief but generate long-term harm. 

Let’s consider another example. Growing up with an emotionally distant mother,
Tony internalized that he’s not important enough to be loved. As an adult, he
becomes very clingy with his girlfriends. He calls his girlfriend Mary multiple
times a day and tells her continuously how much he loves her. At first, Mary
feels forced to reciprocate every gesture. Tony feels recognized and loved. But
after a while, Mary starts feeling suffocated and overwhelmed. Eventually, she
breaks up with Tony. He feels more worthless and abandoned than ever.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR EMOTIONAL BUTTONS

People with BPD often have deep-seated emotional triggers rooted in childhood
experiences. These can get pressed like buttons, prompting impulsive reactions
that make situations worse. Learning to control your emotional buttons is
essential. 

In the last part, you learned how to recognize your triggers as well as the
unhealthy beliefs, behaviors, and patterns connected to them. Now we’ll learn
some strategies you can use to manage your buttons. Keep in mind that it’s best
to practice these strategies before a triggering situation arises. To do this,
simply visualize one of your triggers, and practice a new, healthy response.

CHALLENGE YOUR DYSFUNCTIONAL BELIEFS

Many people with BPD harbor deeply ingrained dysfunctional beliefs that fuel
their disorder. Identifying and disputing these beliefs can be challenging, but
truly transformational. 

Dysfunctional beliefs distort perception in unhealthy ways. Let’s look at
another example. Betty, who works as a nurse, believes she must be perfect for
others to like her. At her new job, one of the nurses kindly offered her help
after Betty made a mistake. But Betty's dysfunctional belief twisted the nurse’s
kind offer into criticism, prompting her to lash out angrily.

CULTIVATE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships affect well-being profoundly, but for people with BPD, they can be
challenging. Assessing the positive and negative factors in your relationships
can help you rebuild them in a healthy way.

Consider the people close to you – your family and partner, your friends and
colleagues, even occasional contacts. For each relationship, write down the
positive elements, such as mutual trust, compassion, and calm interactions. Now
write down negative aspects, such as intense arguments, feelings of distrust,
and not admitting to mistakes.

LIFE BEYOND BPD

You now have a group of tools to help you start taking control of your BPD. They
will help you challenge your dysfunctional beliefs, behaviors, and patterns so
that you can transform how you relate to yourself and the world. 

Take stock of your progress along the way. How are your new patterns improving
your well-being and relationships?

It's highly addictive to get core insights on personally relevant topics without
repetition or triviality. Added to that the apps ability to suggest kindred
interests opens up a foundation of knowledge.

Thi Viet Quynh N.


Great app. Good selection of book summaries you can read or listen to while
commuting. Instead of scrolling through your social media news feed, this is a
much better way to spend your spare time in my opinion.

Jonathan A.


Life changing. The concept of being able to grasp a book's main point in such a
short time truly opens multiple opportunities to grow every area of your life at
a faster rate.

Renee D.


Great app. Addicting. Perfect for wait times, morning coffee, evening before
bed. Extremely well written, thorough, easy to use.
