with Corrine Stoewsand, Ph.D.
For family members of persons with emotional dysregulation, impulsive behavior, or symptoms borderline personality disorder, who want to learn skills based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the “gold standard” for treating BPD.
“This program is for everyone who wants to stop walking on eggshells around someone with borderline personality disorder!” – Randi Kreger
“I was lost and heartbroken over the difficult relationship I had with my son and the subsequent alienation from my grandchildren. Validation and Radical Acceptance were HARD and took a lot of practice. But they opened doors to being invited back into my son’s life! I feel deeply grateful for how those 12 weeks changed my life.” “I realized I was trying to control my sister, making everything worse. For now, I’m just trying to manage my own judgments, and it seems to be making things better.”
“I thought you were just going to tell me the right thing to say to my wife, but this program is really about how I can make deep changes in myself, which seems to be improving the relationship. It is not perfect, but my wife’s angry outbursts are less frequent and far less intense.”
“I thought I had the intelligence to navigate my daughter’s dysregulation by myself. In hindsight, I was woefully ill-prepared to solve this on my own. After doing this course, I realized how I was exacerbating my daughter’s distress. With Corrine’s help and guidance, I learned to improve my communication with my daughter, validate her feelings, and sustain clearer boundaries. Corrine gave me the strength to make tough decisions while she had the greatest sympathy and understanding of my daughter’s distress. Corrine stood by me throughout the whole process. It has changed our lives in a matter of months, and my daughter is now living independently. We now enjoy each other’s company again. I would highly recommend that you fully engage with this course. She healed the both of us.”
“I had no idea this program would have this spiritual component that makes me feel calmer and more connected. To my surprise, that has helped reduce conflict and improve my relationship with everyone in my family.”
