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. 😅😊

[MsRainbowbowz]

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. 😢

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!

[munkartstudio]

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!

[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

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

[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.

[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.

[bigcheese]

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.

[Coito]

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. 🙏🙏🙏❤

[marigoldmoon]

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.

[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!

[elizavetasharma]

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

[VeronicaNicole]

Finding your YouTube 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!

[mystrose]

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.

[angelawhite]

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.

[amandaesquerdo]

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.

[Miss-Placed.]

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.

[endervatta]

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.

[aleksandraa]

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!
