Welcome to Karlijn Coaching

Do you recognize yourself in the following questions?

• Do you feel that you have to be careful with what you say or do? Are you always walking on eggshells?
• Are you afraid of the reaction from a partner or family member, and do you adjust yourself for that reason?
• Have your own feelings and wishes become subordinate – or even disappeared?

These are often signs of a toxic relationship. For example, with a partner or family member with borderline or narcissistic personality disorder. It occurs more often than you think. These relationships are complex and can affect your identity.

You may no longer know who you are or what you want. You feel unseen and often don’t understand where reactions come from. At the same time, there may also be love, loyalty, and beautiful moments. It often doesn't feel black and white. I help you find your way back to yourself step by step.

It is possible.

Often, it is important to have insight into what is actually happening with someone who has personality issues. Not to adapt or endlessly show understanding, but purely to understand what lies beneath the behavior.

Based on my personal and professional experience, I can help you find answers to questions such as the following:

• Why doesn’t my partner trust me even though I keep proving that I am not cheating?
• Why is my partner so helpful and sweet to others, but not to me?
• Where do those anger outbursts come from out of nowhere?
• Why am I everything one moment and nothing the next?
• Why am I suddenly being ignored or even blocked?
• Why is she so afraid that I'll leave her while I say that I will stay with her?
• Why do my parents only criticize?
• Why does my partner only show affection in public?
• Are the mood swings real?
• Why do I always feel belittled by my parents?
• Why does it feel like my parents don't love me?
• Why does my partner ignore the needs of our children?
• Is my partner a narcissist/narcissistic?
• Can a narcissist change?
• How do I deal with narcissistic family?
• How do I find myself again?
• Can you have a relationship with someone with borderline/narcissism?
