Mahari not only can help explain the language of Borderline Personality Disorder, a language that is a pervasively emotional one, to those with BPD and to their loved ones, but she can also understand the dilemmas that loved ones are grappling with because she has been there too. Mahari’s parents both had BPD. She has also had a relationship with someone who had BPD/NPD. She doesn’t just know the language of those with BPD, because she had BPD, she also knows the confusion, pain, heartache, and need for understanding on the other side of BPD from first hand life experience.

Self help for managing the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder cannot take the place of therapy but it can, and in Mahari’s life coaching it does, augment the process of therapy. A.J. Mahari offers her life coaching clients an unparalleled 360 degree full circle understanding of BPD and all of its challenges and complexities.

A.J. Mahari’s life coaching has helped and continues to help her clients change their lives. Mahari is a compassionate and supportive life coach. A very knowledgeable and incredibly aware force for change in the lives of those she coaches.

Just read what a few of her many clients have to say:

“A.J. has been so helpful to me as a life coach. She understands so much about BPD. She understands so much about me. In working with A.J. over the last few months I have really found myself in a much more even and calmer emotional place. My relationships are getting better. I am relating better. I am more able to listen to what people are actually saying than I’ve ever been able to before. A.J.’s compassion has reached me in a way that no one else in my life ever has. We continue on the journey but I know that I wouldn’t be where I am today without A.J.’s continued support and guidance.” — Timothy Tanner

“A.J. is such a powerful teacher. Sometimes, in our sessions, it isn’t even what she says that teaches me so much. I have come to realize it is just as often what she doesn’t say as what she does say. I find that amazing. A.J. is a gifted woman. A very wise woman. A very compassionate woman. You may know that from reading her work online or from watching her videos or listening to her audios but when you work with her as a life coach all of what you see and hear from her online is multiplied to the positive 10 times over. I can’t even describe it. My life is changing. I am changing. I am learning to connect to myself in ways I never thought possible before. It is that connection, so fostered and supported by A.J. as my life coach, that is helping me to finally learn how to really connect with others. I am so grateful and so glad I have A.J. as my life coach.” — Meagan S.

“I did a lot of searching online for a life coach before I decided to give A.J. Mahari a try. I choose to work with A.J. – try her out as I said, at first, because she has been around for a lot of years. She has a proven track record as someone who has been recovered for over a decade. She’s solid in her recovery. All I had to do was read her articles, ebooks, watch some videos, it was all there – it is all there for anyone with BPD (or someone who has someone with BPD in their life) to see. A.J. Mahari is the real deal. It was only a try at first. That’s all I was prepared to do. I wasn’t sure that I trusted the whole concept of a life coach. Little by little I began to open to up as I realized how much A.J. was there for me and how much she cared to help me to help myself. And that’s the key thing here, for me, in working with A.J. Mahari as my life coach, as much as she knows and I know she knows a lot, she is helping me to find my own way. She is helping me to really help myself. It is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.” — J.W.Z.

“I am a much improved human being emotionally since working with A.J. Mahari has my life coach. I still have BPD but I am, as she says, making my way down that road to recovery. It only took 2 session with A.J. to really start to see the possibility of making changes to make my life better. Another few sessions later that possibility was reality. It was happening. It continues to happen. I am really changing, finally. And, I know that I am the one doing the changing. A.J. is so clear about empowering me to help me and as she says all the time, it’s my journey, I’m in charge of it and A.J. is just my mirror. What an incredible mirror and mentor she is.” — Rosanna R.

A.J. Mahari has 5 years experience as life coach working primarily with family members, loved ones, ex and relationship partners of people with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as those who have BPD.

Why would a love one – a non borderline – of someone who has BPD want or need or benefit from life coaching?

The answer is simply-complex. The short answer is because you are in pain and you need to find more effective and healthier ways to cope with that pain and with the complicated challenges of caring about someone with Borderline Personality Disorder.

In my work as a lifecoach many non borderline clients have given me the feedback that they experience the support, understanding, and validation of their own challenges to be central to finding their way to the kind of change that they need to work to create in their lives, whether they are staying in a relationship, or in contact with the borderline in their lives or not.

While there are many avenues of support when one is in a confused and emotionally painful and difficult situation it is important to confide in someone with a deep understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder.

Borderline Personality Disorder is a very complex mental illness that profoundly effects not only those who are diagnosed with it but anyone and everyone that cares and/or loves them.

As a life coach I am a change-agent. I have found my way, personally in my own life, through the many mazes on both sides of Borderline Personality Disorder. I understand the pain and the process that must be navigated in order to win the emotional freedom, whether one remains in relationship and contact to the borderline in their life or not.

Family members, loved ones, parents of adult children with BPD, adult children of a borderline parent, ex or relationship partners of those with BPD all have one thing in common – the pain that is living on the other side of someone with Borderline Personality Disorder.

You can claim your emotional freedom. You can get back in touch with a yourself, a self that you may feel you are either losing or that you may have already lost. You can find your way back to the you that you were before the pain of the enigmatic roller-coaster toxic relational dynamic with someone with BPD in your life.

What you need is change. What you specifically need is change in your own life. If you are in pain and suffering yourself, you need to create change in yourself. You won’t find the emotional freedom, the healing, and the relief that you seek through trying to rescue the borderline in your life.

You cannot change or rescue or fix the person you care or love that has BPD – no matter what you do or how hard you try.

A.J. Mahari, a recovered borderline, offers Life Coaching Programs For Those With Borderline Personality Disorder – This first program consists of 6 Sessions Designed To Enhance Awareness

One of the major challenges for those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is addressing a lack of awareness of the very issues that so affect their lives. This compromised awareness is a result of the split between the borderline’s intellect and emotions. Those with BPD are often very competent and strong intellectually. However, emotionally, the opposite is often the case. Those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder have suffered arrested emotional development caused largely by what I refer to as the core wound of abandonment.

In response to each of the traits that define BPD those diagnosed with BPD have an elaborate system of defense mechanisms that is a major obstacle to the emotional (and often cognitive)awareness necessary for recovery.

Enhancing Emotional Awareness

A.J. offers those with Borderline Personality a life coaching program designed to support and encourage the maintenance of your emotional regulation in the here and now as you explore the changes that you seek to make. This life coaching program for those with BPD consists of 6 sessions designed specifically for those with BPD for $350.00. This package is available either via email or phone. Unlike sessions where those with BPD seek out life coaching with A.J. from the perspective of what they may be focused on this program is one that A.J. has devised and it follows a specified method of coaching. The cost of the program does not include any long distance charges that you might incur.
