Title: Dont even know where to begin... Post by: TheTherapistInMe on August 13, 2017, 07:08:06 PM Let me first start by saying that I am a licensed children's therapist. When I first married my husband, I was either so blinded by love or he didn't display the behaviors that I now have come to know. Because I am trained NOT to diagnosis friends and family, I did not analyze him in this manner. I have removed myself from him and have diagnosed my husband with NPD and BPD. From a textbook sense I know what to do in my relationship, but from a personal relational position, I do NOT. Please help me before I lose my mind.

Are you still together? Are kids involved? Do you want to make a go of this or help to recover? We can then advise accordingly? Title: Re: Dont even know where to begin... Post by: Tattered Heart on August 16, 2017, 09:13:11 AM Hi TheTherapist,
Welcome to the boards It sounds like a good thing that you have set a boundary between your professional role and your personal life. If not, it would be easy to begin treating everyone you love like your clients. What specific problems are you having right now? Is there an area in your response to him that you seem to be struggling with most? |
