When Big Emotions Become Survival: Exploring Cluster B Traits

For anyone who’s been told they’re “too much,” this book honors emotional fire as survival wisdom—then shows how to hold it without getting burned. Moving through borderline, narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial patterns, it blends lived-experience language with clinician-clear maps, micro-interventions, and reflective prompts. Readers learn to name survival rules, repair ruptures, and channel intensity into connection, creativity, and steadiness. It’s a blueprint for transforming push-pull cycles into durable bonds and using sensitivity as a source of strength.
