Of course they can. Echoes book suggestion is a good one and one example of many, who with surrender, willingness, a tremendous amount of hard, grueling work and a committed and highly competent professional are able to begin and continue therapy.

But I will be honest along with hopefull here. It is not an easy task and statistics prove this. Recovery from this deep and profound disorder is difficult. The willingness of the sufferer is just one of the many challenging aspects to recovery. Resources, from a competent professional who is just as committed, to a supportive and educated family/friend system are critical in long term recovery.

But I have personally witnessed recovery from BPD and though it is presently one of our lives distinct challenges,,,it can be done.
