Yeah, I know Matt. The coaches are more focused, I think, on attracting our spouses back than they are concerned with our PMA. At least that's how I saw things after working with mine. She pretty much helped me develop a strategy to achieve a goal, and that's reconciliation. I wouldn't say coaching conflicts with the advice on this board, but it's more targeted toward that end. Here, the focus is on taking care of ourselves as a critical component of either re-attracting our spouses or setting ourselves up for a healthy and happy life without them. My coach didn't really let me imagine a future that didn't include reconciliation. And perhaps I think about that goal a bit too much, and it does mess with my PMA.

When is your first session with your coach? I'm eager to hear how things go for you...
