The Borderline Teen

Parenting a teenager who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely. Behaviors that look angry or manipulative often come from fear, shame, and emotions that feel impossible for your child to manage. «The Borderline Teen» is a practical and compassionate guide that helps you see beneath the surface, understand what your teen is truly experiencing, and finally feel confident in how to support them. Drawing on lived experience and the combined knowledge of psychiatrists and psychologists, Leah Llorens brings you a clear, gentle roadmap through emotional chaos and toward connection. You will learn why your teen reacts the way they do, how their brain processes stress and abandonment, and what truly helps during moments that feel impossible. From communication and validation to boundaries, co regulation, treatment, and recovery, this book offers steady guidance that is grounded in science yet filled with warmth. At its heart, «The Borderline Teen» is a reminder that a diagnosis is not an ending. It is the beginning of understanding. With patience, structure, and compassion, families can rebuild trust, strengthen their relationships, and create a home where healing becomes possible. Because understanding is the foundation of every lasting bond.
