Title: Marriage Coaching: Looking for thoughts
Post by: bugwaterguy on January 31, 2022, 08:00:31 AM
I am looking for advice on Marriage Coaching.  I am worried that a coach who isn't familiar with BPD might have me going down fruitless paths.

Has anyone used any marriage coaching in the past?  Has it helped?

I am considering Marriage Helpers and  Geoffrey Setiawan  - but I am open to all sorts of ideas.

I would like to develop a clearer plan for how to save my marriage, if that is possible - and/or protect our children and myself.

I have read Splitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

"fixing your marriage" sound like a one legged kickboxing champion... i digress.. 


In regards to parenting your child with a partner or co-parent that has challenges, I have enjoyed these books
