It is beautifully written, clear and candid. She did a great service in sharing her life with those who needed to read and hear it. ( ) excellent book. covers DBT, buddhist practice, 'borderline', IFS from the perspective on a white middle class women from Boston who has a mother who travels to avoid dealing with her daughters emotional issues and has various additional support people that cushion her life during the decade she tries to find a place in the world. There is a lot more borderline than Buddha in this memoir. I liked that she kept the focus on her symptoms and therapy and the aspects of mindfulness in DBT that would lead her to Buddhism. It was also fun to find out that we'd been to the same goth club and meditation center in the oughts. There are some very intense sections - going to therapy with her mother stands out particularly in my mind. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Kiera Van Gelder's first suicide attempt at the age of twelve marked the onset of her struggles with drug addiction, depression, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and chaotic romantic relationships-all of which eventually led to doctors' belated diagnosis of borderline personality disorder twenty years later. The Buddha and the Borderline is a window into this mysterious and debilitating condition, an unblinking portrayal of one woman's fight against the emotional devastation of borderline personality disorder. This haunting, intimate memoir chronicles both the devastating period that led to Kiera's eventual diagnosis and her inspirational recovery through therapy, Buddhist spirituality, and a few online dates gone wrong. Kiera's story sheds light on the private struggle to transform suffering into compassion for herself and others, and is essential reading for all seeking to understand what it truly means to recover and reclaim the desire to live.
