I was first diagnosed with borderline personality disorder as a teenager. The first book I picked up was I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me by the same authors. I appreciated the book because it explained a lot of things that I hadn’t understood about myself before. I now knew why I had a lot of the issues that interfered with my life. But it painted a very dark picture of what I could do to change any of it, instead quoting statistics that were depressing.

With this follow up book I felt like that dark cloud was completely lifted. This book helped explain symptoms in a much easier to understand fashion, often giving examples. Theoretical stories are scattered through the book to demonstrate how some of these symptoms might be played out in a real setting. Instead of stopping with understanding the symptoms the book also provides some treatment options. I have a well worn copy of this book on my desk and have repurchased it at least three times. The only way I can describe it for me is that it was life changing.
