<p>Sometimes having a relationship with someone with Borderline Personality Disorder can make you feel like your navigating a maze&#8230; one in which any false move could be a disaster. Some people call this state &#8220;walking on eggshells.&#8221; If you&#8217;re in a relationship with someone with BPD, you may feel stuck. You may fear saying the &#8220;wrong&#8221; thing to your loved one with BPD &#8211; the thing that triggers raging or blaming of all of their problems on you. Sometimes you may feel like there&#8217;s no hope at all.</p>
<p>Yet I have found there IS hope. The hope is found in learning effective relationship skills. That is what I teach loved ones of people with BPD (collectively the Non-BP&#8217;s or Non-BPD). I have been able to help hundreds of Non-BP&#8217;s in their relationships with these highly emotional people. Through my on-line support list, my books and my consulting services, I can help you learn to cope with a loved one with BPD. In fact, your loved one doesn&#8217;t even have to have BPD for these skills to help you. The skills can help anyone in a relationship with an Emotionally Sensitive Person (an ESP for short).</p>
<p>If you are at you wit&#8217;s end with your loved one &#8211; whether you are their parent, spouse/partner, sibling or friend &#8211; I can help you navigate the maze that living with an ESP or someone with BPD can become. Check out the resources on this web site and on my regular blog (<a title="ATSTP Blog" href="http://www.anythingtostopthepain.com" target="_blank">www.anythingtostopthepain.com</a>) to find out how to get out of the maze without failing into a deep hole.</p>
