my book!

I've written a book for people with, or who identify with, BPD. Talking About BPD: A Stigma-Free Guide to Living a Calmer, Happier Life with Borderline Personality Disorder combines lived experience with DBT-based coping techniques for managing intense emotions and distress including suicidal thoughts and thoughts about self-harm. This is a stigma-free book and offers comfort, validation, hope and support.

'I am Rosie. I have BPD. I am not an attention-seeker, manipulative, dangerous, hopeless, unlovable, 'broken', 'difficult to reach' or 'unwilling to engage'. I am caring, creative, courageous, determined, full of life and love.'

It's fully reviewed by mental health professionals and published by Jessica Kingsley. Out October 21st 2021 and available to preorder now.
