Marriage Coaching: Looking for thoughts
«

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
