Touchstone Life Coaching
Borderline Personality Disorder is a serious and complex mental health issue. It does require
a significant amount of professional therapy in order for those diganosed with it to find their way on to the
road to recovery. Touchstone Life Coaching Services can be helpful to those with Borderline Personality Disorder as an adjunct to therapy. Life coaching can offer
support and assistance to the client, in the here and now, on working to continue to gain strength in identifying
and maintaining coping strategies to achieve personal goals in your life today and moving forward. © A.J. Mahari
Borderline Personality Disorder
In my experience Life Coaching can be an aid to some with Borderline Personality Disorder. It can be an adjunct to therapy but it cannot take the place of therapy. It has been my experience that the clients that do best in the coaching relationship are clients that have had and/or are still getting considerable professional counselling.
Due to the very complicated nature of Borderline Personality Disorder in order for me to work with someone with BPD, in a life coaching capacity and role, I first require that each person with BPD meets the criteria that I have set forth for the life coaching I do. If you have BPD and you are interested in my services as a life coach please email for more information.
Please Note: As a life coach I cannot act as a substitute for a therapist. I cannot help those with Borderline Personality Disorder who have not yet reached a significant amount of recovery in therapy with a mental health professional. In order to enter into life coaching with me those with BPD must be able to substantiate their history with therapy and its success.
Borderline Personality Disorder presents many challenges in the lives of those diagnosed with it. There are many ways that Life Coaching can be of support to the journey of recovery. But the coaching relationship is not about the actual recovery it is about supporting the changes that the client with BPD is identifying and in the process of making from hard work in traditional therapy. Life coaching can support the process of present-day efforts to maintain new behaviour and learn to be more consistent with the changes that are goals that have come out of gaining insight and awareness and in therapy.
As a life coach A.J. Mahari has a dynamic, compassionate, creative, and supportive approach. Specifically in her work with those with Borderline Personality Disorder, A.J., as someone who has recovered from BPD, knows from her own first hand experience the obstacles that will present themselves as challenging growth opportunities in the process of change and recovery.
As a life coach I provide a caring, compassionate, safe, confidential, non judgemental, validating and
supportive relationship within which clients can feel empowered to explore their present-day needs. I
essentially act as a human mirror for my clients. I share with my clients an outside and unbiased
perspective as to what I observe in listening to their feelings, experiences, and concerns.
Personal Coaching is not counseling or therapy and is not meant to be a substitute for either.
Touchstone Life Coaching can assist you with any of the following:
