Unlock the Key to Treating BPD with These Self Help Materials!

[@AnnieM-aamm]

I just got the card deck. It’s like a therapist in a box😂. Comforting and wise bite size reminders and advice on what to focus on especially when emotionally disregulated. 😅😊

[@DrDanielFox]

I am so glad that you’re finding it helpful. That really means a lot to me as that is the impetus for me creating these materials. Feel free to leave an Amazon review if you’d like. 🦊👍

[@GamerOnLoan]

Should I get them as gifts for some people or is that bad form?

I have worked the blue book from start to finish but I refer to it a lot. It’s absolutely life changing!!! I went way back in my history with recurring issues. Disengagement when I’m triggered, mindfulness, knowing I can have a positive outcome despite triggers, managing my old thinking. Even though I’m struggling with life challenges of living in my car, trying to find a suitable job for me, grief and empty nesting on my own... I’m doing fairly well. I did have bad thoughts a few days ago but it was very temporary. I really need the card deck!!! Thank you!

[@zz-ic6vy]

I have the book but it haven't worked yet.

[@qazplmm632]

I went through the book as well and I agree - it’s life changing. Along with psychotherapy and videos like this one I’ve come to a moment in my life that I never thought was possible. Like for the first time in my life I don’t feel this horrible feeling of emptiness. I wish you good luck with your current situation! I hope you can overcome those issues and do even better.

The blue workbook I started and had to call my sister in hysterics. I’m not joking, it was like “check check check” and “yes that’s me”. The part where you figure out your attachment style ended with me being anxious and preoccupied attachment. Next page, BAM, “those with bpd often have anxious and preoccupied attachment”. It has been INCREDIBLY helpful for me to have insight and validation. I kept going to therapists who I would mention that I might have borderline with. They would always deny it because I “am so successful” in my work. Except my relationships, love life, etc. are an absolute nightmare. My mom had BPD and the page about the environment you grew up in was shocking. I checked EVERYTHING except a few. I am half way through now and will definitely be moving onto the next. I have quiet and petulant BPD. I finally feel seen and heard and am ready to change. 😢

[@munkartstudio6405]

Thanks for all your advice and insight. I believe my wife has BPD but she refuses to seek a diagnosis or professional help. Your channel has shed a lot of light on ‘our’ situation together. Have to go to work now, but I’ll finish this later. Thanks again!

[@jadegreen1554]

She probably has covert narcissitic pd. People with bpd want change.

[@Wetryourbesteachday]

Your toolbox for NPD has been helping me more than my therapist, that's for sure. You have a talent and skill for being able to communicate in a way I find my NPD able to tolerate and stick with. My wife uses the workbook for BPD. Thank you again

[@mystrose333]

I just stopped talk therapy because my clinician is very inexperienced and I felt like I was just spinning my wheels. Over the past two(ish) years, I have pretty much watched all your BPD vids along with doing an extensive 2 month long DBT/CBT 6hr a day group day program and I have learned so much. The timing of you putting this video out is crazy, I was telling my partner last night that I wanted to buy your books and cards because it's the type of therapy that I benefit from the most, so far. So, even tho I'm not a client sitting on your couch, you are helping me and I thank you, Dr. Fox.

[@DrDanielFox]

This can happen. We can work with folks and we can grow and get what we can from them and then I think it’s OK to move on and find another therapist who can help us continue that journey.

[@mystrose333]

@@DrDanielFox Thank you, you have no idea how much I needed to hear that. I've struggled with the thought that this could have been splitting (she yawned during our last session and I decided right there I was done). You put it into a different perspective and that really makes things more clear for me.

[@Wetryourbesteachday]

I relate to your experience in therapy. I am glad you found something that has helped you. He does a great job in his line of work

[@Wetryourbesteachday]

​@@mystrose333just went thru this with my wife yesterday. Deciding when it's okay to just stop going. I hope you find peace in whatever you decide

[@darkhell7639]

Daniel, I'm really grateful of having encountered with your channel and resources, seriously. Your content and material have helped me to work on self-consciousness, and I'm doing a lot better since I know you. Thank you so much and I really appreciate your effort. Besides, I wanted to say that unlike some other professionals on KZbin, it's heart-warming to hear you addressing people in a non-hurting way, without making them/us feeling despised; quite the contrary, your videos make me feel much better in general. Again, I'm very glad to have known about you.

[@DrDanielFox]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that my content has been helpful for you and that you're doing better with your self-consciousness. It's always great to know that my efforts are making a positive impact on people's lives. Keep up the good work!

[@amandaesquerdo9737]

I was just asking myself how the BPD card deck looked like, what was it about and BAM, you make the perfect video Dr. Fox. You're helping a community that most of the time feels very, very lost. Thank you so much Dr. Fox, we really need resources like the ones you're sharing and creating.

[@silviaarzamendia]

I just finished the Part II of the Workbook, and I really have a better understanding of my BPD, of my behavior towards others and myself. It helps a lot, I really recommend it to people that are really trying to get over the symptoms. I also have the deck, and I keep it in my desk, since I work at home, I have it in sight all the time! I realized that I had very toxic behavior towards friends, and I have isolated for months not knowing what to do. Fearing i will hurt or get hurt. Now I am focusing on learning about coping and improving myself. I will get the complex book so I can get a full understanding of it all. Thankyou Doc so much for your help!

[@Coito907]

Awesome can't wait! I already have your workbook and enjoy it! I'm learning a lot about myself and why I do the things I do and what they mean it's really thorough. The best part is there is recovery for all of us should experience bpd! That's the best gift of all it's a hard painful road people don't realize. Thank you dr. Fox for your compassion your genuineness and for helping us. 🙏🙏🙏❤

I was in a short(7 month) relationship with a lady that was diagnosed w/ Bipolar 2, PTSD, anxiety & depression…when it was good it was great but when it was bad it was extreme. It ended 6 months ago & didn’t end well. I researched bipolar to try to understand it & find ways I could help but a lot of ways she acted I think is BPD or at least traits of it. We haven’t spoke in 6 months but I have watched your videos & I’m no doctor but I really believe she has BPD & not bipolar. I’ve watched numerous videos & she seems to me like “quite BPD”. I want to tell her to mention it to her therapist/doctor but don’t know if want to open that door again because it was hard on me being in the relationship because of way she acted at times…I know she can’t help what she has & I don’t blame her for her actions. I just want her to find for sure what she has & to find right treatment. I want what’s best for her

[@Your_Entire_Reality_Is_A_Lie]

Coming from a person with borderline, it might not be wise to "inform" her or "diagnose" her with BPD - or anything, for that matter. You may end up lookin like the bad guy-ever hear the expression, "don't shoot the messenger"? Well, in this case, you're the messenger and you're delivering some VERY revealing, VERY not so fun...news. I know you probably feel like you've just hit the information jackpot and want to go "fix" her now, but chances are, she probably already has an idea and if she doesn't yet, it's certainly a road she'll want to discover privately and seek help on her own time and terms...

[@j.m.p8051]

I realized I'm not bipolar too, and I'm not sure how I would feel if it was approached with me. I figured it out on my own. My guy & me have been off and on for almost a decade, he has been through too much with me and I'm shocked he let me be back in his life. I work hard at staying well though

[@bigcheese2128]

Recently backslid a lot and almost got in a serious physical fight in which I know for a fact I would’ve been going for damage. Luckily people around me disarmed the situation and I almost immediately knew I had fucked up. Trying to crawl out of a dark, dark place that left me struggling with poverty, loneliness and addiction. My life has been in a constant state of upheaval as long as I can remember. This channel has given me a good look at myself more than any other. But at the end of the day someone is always trying to sell you a book.

[@maddiejaymes]

I’m pretty sure I have the blue book from Amazon. I had no idea it was from you! I’ve found it really helpful. I love a workbook.

[@angelawhite2022]

Your blue workbook is by far the best purchase I have ever made for myself. It changed my life in so many positive ways❤ can’t thank you enough for caring.

[@marigoldmoon4993]

thank you so so so much for creating this. I only just completed section 1 of the workbook and I already feel so encouraged that I can be better. I also loveee the card deck. I keep it in my bag so I have it on hand if I ever have a moment.

[@VeronicaNicole4778]

Finding your KZbin channel years ago has without a doubt, changed my life immensely for the better!! Just like you wish you could help us all in person, I think we wish we could thank you in person 🤗🤗🤗. I only have the bpd workout book but hope to get the others too!

[@DrDanielFox]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you well.

[@aleksandra14a]

I I'm waiting for The BPD Card Deck, I think it will be very useful for me. I wanted to let you know that I really like the simple and nice-looking design of all three materials - they look like exercises for learning a foreign language and I think that's great. I am a bit sore about the Polish version of the workbook cover, I would have preferred if the workbook had kept the original cover. Dr. Fox, your online and published materials are a very important part of my journey of coping with BPD. It is very lucky that I found this channel. Thank you immensely for your work!

[@InstrumentvanVrede]

I've also been journaling and meditating both activities that I did not want to do but have been pushing myself to continue doing in the last couple of weeks.

Thank you Dr Fox , I wish my son would follow your advise. I pray God he watches your videos, thank you

[@Miss-Placed.1]

Thank you for this video. Ive just ordered the card deck. I live in the UK and mental health services are not good and lagging behind other countries when it comes to anything more complex than mild anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2007 and have never received any information or counselling for it. These cards might be just what many of us need to help us navigate the world until services catch up and get better.

[@endervatta9907]

I’ve been working through the workbook and as a means of encouragement I’ve started posting my progress on my blog, thank you Dr Fox.

[@LurkingLinnet]

Thank you, you are saving lives!

[@Julia-0411-k8x]

I have all of them and there are so good. I especially love that the card set is spilled into these categories and I really love the book about comorbid conditions because I always thought my depression makes recovery harder and I did not know how to work trough both at the same time

[@SandwichForsaken]

I’ve got all three. I’m halfway into the blue one and it’s absolutely life changing. Never had I managed to address the core issues this way; DBT helps only to mitigate the “episodes” but do not help in identifying underlying beliefs that affect how we think/feel. But the blue workbook is a life changer for me. I’m more rational in my thinking these days. The card deck is a game I play with myself every day. I pick a card randomly from the pile and read aloud to remind myself!

[@sarahhamilton1722]

I found the complex bpd book very helpful

[@whatsayyounowsunshower]

Very helpful! Dr, Gundersen from McLean recommends memoir and writing an autobiography to enable identity stabilization? Any thoughts on that subject?

[@jennsuicune]

Hello Dr Fox 😃. I'm interested in your workbook. Unfortunately here in France very few therapists are able to help people with BPD, behaviourism is not as extended as in the US. Lots of therapists are psychanalists and don't know how to cope with BPD patients. Another thing : I find some BPD traits are very similar with those in Intellectual High Potential people or Emotional High Potential people (the terms have been developped by a French therapist so I don't know if these are used and known in the US). So I'm at a loss to know what is really the cause of them and if there is a correlation between the two.

[@Your_Entire_Reality_Is_A_Lie]

Interesting! I'll have to look those terms up!

So I've been diagnosed with BPD for a while. I haven't really addressed it much due to panic attacks pretty much controlling my life. Losing jobs, going to the hospital every day, and today missing Halloween with my kids. I did, however, watch a video of yours that talked about addressing core content before co-morbidities. Is it possible that managing BPD will help with my anxiety? What would you recommend for someone who's almost exclusively focused on survival, even when nothing is wrong physically?

[@DrDanielFox]

I would encourage you to find a way to get a sense of stability so that you’re not always in panic mode or fear mode. You can do this, but it’s about looking at your core Content and managing it. I wish you well.

[@KatBlack07]

I absolutely love you Dr Fox but, how does a borderliner decide to refer to their cards for help, when they are in a fit of rage? Feelings are uncontrollable and wreaking havoc is the only thing on their mind. I really would love to buy all the books and cards but when the rage is the biggest part the problem, I feel like they won't get used. Thank you for all you share with us. 😊

[@Sue-ck5yk]

When I had a DBT app on my phone, it suggested that there is a skills breakdown point where we can use crisis survival skills like TIP skills but other skills tend not to work until we are calmer. I use an ice pack or cold water on my face when I've hit extreme lows.

@@DrDanielFox Thank you for reply however I am not sure what is meant by “through the publisher”. I live in Sweden not sure if that can affect the purchase.
