This summary is a collation of all the feedback from participants who completed the Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder Course in January 2019.
What did you find helpful about the course?- Examples of how to be mindful and understanding more about how to be positive.
- Meeting people with similar problems.
- The facilitators were fantastic at their job and knew a lot about emotional issues.
- I found it helpful being around others who have a similar diagnosis.
- Being able to express myself in a comfortable environment.
- The handouts and coping skills were useful.
- Meeting other likeminded people – knowing that I’m not alone.
- Learning skills to help me in certain situations .
- Knowing what I need to do to progress my recovery.
- The ‘stop’ card was very useful .
- Knowing that so many other people have similar experiences .
- Feeling able to share my own experiences without judgement.
- Learning techniques that might help me cope better in future .
- I found it really helpful meeting other people like me and being able to share common experiences
- I found the different techniques taught and information helpful and something I can practice and work on to find what works for me
- The coping mechanism provided effective short term solutions to help provide care while searching for long term therapy.
- Having guidance from someone with BPD
- The group aspect
- Laying out and reinforcing of ground rules
Did you find anything about the course or individual sessions unhelpful?- Nothing, although the first session was particularly hard hearing about the symptoms of BPD – this was necessary though .
- Not all of the information is in the booklet.- Occasional mistakes in the Powerpoint . I didn’t find anything unhelpful- I found the workbook hard to read due to too much text and the font
What suggestions do you have for improvements to the course?- It needs to be longer, 4 sessions isn’t enough
- A workbook that relates to what we do each week
- More little cards to carry around
- I feel more group activities would be helpful, also a longer course period as I feel we have only just got started. With the depth of the diagnosis a longer period of time would be more adequate
- Maybe a longer course would be helpful
- Can’t think of any!
- More mindfulness examples
