This was recommended to me by my therapist. He spotted the signs and recommended I read this. Know I understand why my spouse is acing the way they do.

This book helps ypu identify the toxic people in your life and what to do about it. Well written and easy to understand without being too overwhelming. Highly recommend!

Stop Walking on Eggshells offers exceptional insight into the complex dynamics of narcissism and mental health. Intensely researched and thoughtfully written, it opens a window into the victim-narcissist relationship. This book not only deepens understanding of human behavior, but also provides empowering tools to reclaim personal peace. It helped me immensely. Stories are real and heartfelt.

I read this book because it was recommended by a friend to help me with healing from some things from my past, which are to personal to go into in a public setting. I did indeed find it helpful. And I appreciated the fact that the author focuses strongly on healing as well as being very real about how you simply cannot change the people in your life who are border line personalities or narcissists. You can't. And you mustn't try to. That was liberating.

This book was suggested to me by my marriage therapist in order to deal with my husband. This book helped me tremendously! A definite eye-opener. My now EX husband suffered severely with narcissistic tendencies as well as bi-polar and anger management issues. During our entire horrible marriage, he would also blame me for everything so I pretty much became a vegetative doormat. I gained so much insight after reading this book that it brought me out of my depression and I was able to stop enabling him and move on with my life. I am now living an awesomely happy life surrounded by nature!

After living with someone with severe BPD for 50 years and never understanding the dynamics my doctor recommended this book. It didn't save the marriage but I'm now more understanding of the horrible effect it had on me. I am learning how to regain myself and realize it's not all my fault. I would recommend this book for all but especially younger people who are dealing with a loved one with this disorder. It gives a lot of information and help in understanding what you are dealing with and how to navigate the situation and save your relationship.

I found Stop Walking on Egg Shells to be an incredibly insightful and compassionate guide that helped me understand and navigate a relationship with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I appreciated the strategies for improving communication and creating healthier boundaries. Also, I wanted a book that didn't place blame. This book balanced empathy for both the person with BPD and those around them.

I just got out of an intense relationship with a woman with BPD among other mental conditions. This book has helped me understand that my feelings matter and that it is better to have the understanding that what I feel matters and the way I am able to express my emotions in a way that my ex understands and can’t manipulate my thoughts in order to make me feel like I’m being unfair to her has been a godsend. I’m working toward healing myself and with the help of this book I am beginning to understand what I was doing all this time to make the relationship work was in fact making me feel worse and smaller than my ex. There are a lot of great resources for BPD and I’ve read a lot of them in the hopes of saving the relationship but this book has shown me that it is not going to happen in this situation but is going to prepare me for my next relationship
