super insightful…5 stars
“Breaking the Silence” is super insightful for anyone seeking to better understand Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and how it impacts the person’s everyday life and relationships.
I would have to say that this information is especially critical and helpful for anyone who works in the education system. It gives some real tools you can actually teach or use with your students affected by BPD to help manage their emotions and get along better with peers and ensure a positive learning environment for everyone.
This book is well-organized and provides you with all the key info about BPD in a way that’s easy to swallow. It’s like a crash course in understanding and dealing with BPD.
Bottom line?, “Breaking the Silence” is a must-read for anyone seeking a better understanding of BPD and its impact on personal and interpersonal dynamics. I‘m giving it five stars and highly recommend it to anyone seeking insight into this complex disorder.

I found this book to be repetitive throughout from chapter titles to subtitles to chapter content. It is 196 pages, but it truly could’ve been cut in half. Even the “About the Author” section on the back of the book and at the end of the book are identical, making them repetitive, as well.
If someone has never been in DBT, EMDR, CBT, etc., this book (cut in half) could be beneficial. I, however, found it tiresome. Unfortunately, I was looking for something a bit more in depth and academic.
From what I can gather, Maya A isn’t a doctor of psychology, psychiatry, or sociology. He has graduate degree in psychology and sociology, per his “About the Author” section. I found nothing at all on the Internet saying otherwise.
That’s my fault for not researching more thoroughly first before purchasing and reading Maya A’s book. As they say, anyone can write and publish a book. I, personally, prefer to get information on diagnoses as complex as Borderline Personality Disorder from someone who has earned their PhD, has practiced, and whose work has been vetted by their peers. Perhaps his work has been, vetted, but I couldn’t find it if that’s the case. While having two graduate degrees is notable, I personally wouldn’t presume to know, if I were him, enough to write and publish an entire book on a diagnoses so multilayered.
Another thing I found odd and a bit suspect were the book reviews at the beginning by nameless reviewers. If I’m being honest, the first thing I thought of was that the author all the reviews himself or had AI do it. Of course, I have no idea whether or not that’s true, but why include book reviews by multiple people if you’re not going to put their names? Also, if everyone who gave a book review of your book DID happen to ask to be anonymous, that would be even stranger and more suspect.
Perhaps I’m being too judgmental. It’s simply my opinion that books written on complex psychological diagnoses should be left to the doctors in those fields of brain science, therapy, and medicine.
*If Maya A does happen to hold a PhD in psychology, my apologies. (It’s still relentlessly repetitive, regardless.)

Breaking The Silence: Illuminating the Intricacies of Borderline Personality Disorder and Its Profound Influence on Relationships is a book for anyone who wants to know more about BPD. I think it's an invaluable resource of information for individuals diagnosed with BPD, their family and those who are part of the support system. I myself have an adult grandson who is now diagnosed as Bipolar after having spent over 10 years diagnosed and being treated with BPD. This book has provided me with so much more information about what I can do to offer better support in the years to come.
This information is timely and well organized. There is comprehensive information regarding BPD symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options. There is emphasis for self-care throughout the book. The practical tips on pages 115 and 116 for handling social issues is detailed. Chapter 17 also well written listing 10 items in a checklist to assist a person with BPD in effectively managing their condition. The quote from Pink at the beginning of this chapter is heartfelt and honest. I particularly like the inspirational quotes throughout the book. The additional resources regarding BPD are plentiful.
I am rating this book with four stars for two reasons: the fictional case study. I don't understand why made-up information was included in the book. And secondly, there are proof reading/editing issues. I read the same sentence four times, in a row, on page 44, 48, 51 and 56. "Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition characterized by intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a distorted self-image." It also appears, word for word, on page 140. This by no means cancels out the well-researched content and the validity of this valuable resource. I'm happy with my purchase of the book and am grateful for my new-found knowledge.

Wheelhouse of BPD
This book includes a set of guidelines that outline the basics of Borderline Personality Disorder and what drives it, “the wheelhouse effect”. Or that’s what I call it. While much of the content might seem overwhelming, there are some good insights into this, ‘often misunderstood personality disorder’. I especially found the content on recognizing BPD, seeking help, taking action and finding what triggers an individual with BPD to be insightful. Included are “some case studies of BPD and their journey through the use different techniques, de-escalation strategies, when and how to call 911, using DBT to manage emotions and develop better coping skills and educating the public!”
BPD affects people of all ages, sex and is often associated with secondary diagnosis, which makes it more challenging to recognize and treat. Education is the key.

checked this book out for research
For a creative writing project, I needed a birds eye view into BPD. To understand it from a perspective that Ive never looked at before. Breaking the Silence is a wonderfully detailed resource that was concise and easy to follow.
