For the R talk, she said the most important things were:

2) to be ok with stepping away or taking a break if something upset me

For anyone who wonders, yes, DB Coaches will work with both spouses, either separately or in the same session on a conference call. And yes, the confidentiality expectation is the same as regular therapy, meaning that the Coach will not reveal what one person says in session w/o that person's permission. If the Coach is working with both spouses, s/he might *ask* if they can share something with the other spouse, but unless you say yes, they won't reveal it.
