Peggy Darling (RN) takes a technical and complex topic and makes it accessible for just about anyone. Her narrative style of writing, warmth, and personal anecdotes make her thorough breakdown of DBT, how it is used, and why it is useful an enjoyable experience for an audience that is likely here for information, not pleasure reading. I have recommend or passed on copies of this book to 5 different people, each with different connections to the subject (some personal, some familial, some professional). Thank you, Nurse Darling, for this book. 10/10, highly recommend.

She makes useful suggestions that the reader can implement almost immediately such as mindfulness, positive imagery and managing difficult emotions. The book can serve as a handbook for coping with a variety of situations, such as managing stress and maintaining emotional balance. This book is helpful and well researched.

Peggy, this book is a life-changer! Your way of breaking down complex DBT techniques into simple, practical steps is nothing short of brilliant. It feels like having a compassionate coach guiding you toward peace, clarity, and purpose. I’ve already started applying your strategies, and the difference is incredible. This isn’t just a book, it’s a roadmap to taking back control of life. Thank you for creating something so powerful and transformative!

excellent treatment information
If you are looking for answers to how to help a loved one or yourself with BPD, this is an excellent detailed solution. Wish I’d had this to reference when married to my first husband who suffered with BPD. Back then it was a relatively new diagnosis and not much in the way of treatment was known.!
