"Laura Paxton's book Borderline and Beyond is enormously helpful - no matter what kind of therapy is being used. It will be helpful for those not in treatment as well. I highly encourage everyone with the BPD to use this book as a guide."
Leland Heller, MD, author of Life At the Border: Understanding and Recovering from Borderline Personality Disorder

"To develop a program to assist in the recovery process of borderline patients is work you deserve commendation for. To be able to instill hope in patients and staff alike is a precious gift you have given to those who have wished to hear your inspirational and authentic message." Raymond Fideleo, MD, Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital

"Most importantly, Paxton shows that it is possible to do much more than just "recover"-you can make life a joyful experience if you are willing to take the first step. To people who have suffered for years, this is desperately needed information, since one must believe in recovery-even visualize it. I recommend this book to those who need to learn these lessons and those with a friend or family member who needs inspiration and hope for the future."
Randi Kreger, Author of Stop Walking On Eggshells: When Someone You Love Has Borderline Personality Disorder

"The workbook, Borderline and Beyond, that Laura Paxton has written is, by far, the most exciting and supportive inspiration I have encountered for treating people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)."
Pamela Ashby, MFT

The Art of Loren Hall
Laura Paxton's brother
I am an artist currently living in north Georgia. I have always had a love for the strange and the beautiful, but I feel that it was a series of early childhood dreams that laid the groundwork for my creative future...
