The original Borderline and Beyond was written by Laura Paxton, while recovering after a near-fatal suicide attempt. She realized she was never going to have a better life until she earned how to take responsibility for her life and her recovery. The problem was that she wasn't sure how to do that. So, she started experimenting with different coping skills and taking notes about what worked and didn't work. She shared the method she used, as well as her results in the original edition of Borderline and Beyond. Laura Paxton also holds two master's degrees, one in psychology and a specialist degree in education. The full e-book, progress tests, coping skill quick reference tools and more are here in this app. (compatible enhancement to DBT)
