Over the years, dozens of list members told me that Stop Walking on Eggshells is so densely packed with information that they have to read it several times, highlighting important sections and making notes in the margins.

This workbook supplements your understanding of the principles in SWOE, assists in applying them to your own type of relationship, and helps you practice them so they become second nature. For example, it includes things like:

• A form to help to fill in when looking for a clinician

• A list of phrases helpful in different situations

• A way to log how BPD has affected your life

• How to overcome "non-BP myths" and handle reality

• Step-by-step instructions for setting personal limits

• Checklists to help you discover what makes you feel fearful, obligated, and guilty

• Exercises to help improve your assertiveness skills

• Integrated information for parents of children with BPD and people with BP parents

• The four types of BPD and how each type differs in thoughts and behaviors

• How non-BPs react to the behaviors of each of the four types

• Checklists to help assess the "real you" and your strengths

• Discussion of the difficulties of change

• Examples from real-life arguments and directions on how to respond

• Help in learning how to treasure yourself

• Tips for overcoming emotional blackmail

• Ways to counteract "hoovering"

• A glossary of BPD terms
