<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I usually keep this under wraps on my other accounts, but I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I recently started therapy in an attempt to improve my situation and to help learn how to be not/less abusive towards the people I love in my life. 

However, I still have times where I slip and freak out and during those times my dad doesn't know how to help me. A lot of the time he is away at work (he flies up north to the oil sands for a week at a time, then spends a week at home). But even when he's at home, he has expressed to me that he feels powerless to help, that he has tried everything and doesn't know what to do anymore. I think sharing my DBT (Dialectal Behaviour Therapy) workbook with him would help him feel less "powerless".

My dad isn't really an emotional guy. His identity is that of a helper and a provider. He has trouble interacting and comforting me on an emotional level, so I think that if he had access to the same things I do now, he would be able to engage in the way of coping mechanisms instead of how illogical I'm being and getting upset. I want my dad to be a part of my recovery because I live with him, and probably will for a long time, and he is the most important person in my life.

The thing is, I don't know how to bring it up, or how to portray to him how important this is to me without making it sound like I'm demanding him to do something. I have Asperger's on top of my BPD and my social skills are very poor. I can express myself well in writing but verbally, I don't think fast enough or know enough about talking to people to properly portray my thoughts without offending him. Hence, why I'm here.

How should I approach my dad? Is there an opportune time? What should I say? How do I make the conversation a positive experience?
<bot>: I want to share my DBT workbook with my dad so he has tools to deal with me, but I have poor social skills and I don't know how to properly formulate the conversation I need to have with him.
