Life is full of daily stressors, challenges and problem solving. Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. The top three stressors that experts have identified are divorce, death of a loved one and financial concerns. “The majority of Americans struggle to find balance in the face of a multitude of challenges in our busy society,” said David L Shern Ph. D., president and CEO of Mental Health American.
How we choose to cope can jeopardize our health and relationships at home or work. If you feel overwhelmed or want to seek change in your life, counseling can be a positive option. Counseling can open communication, resolve conflict and help to find ways to move forward after experiencing loss or grief. What you are experiencing is unique to you and where you are in your life cycle. Counseling can provide support while working through the transitions of life.
Whether you want to work on personal growth, marital relationships or family dynamics counseling can be helpful. Studies show that solving problems when you are upset and emotional is nearly impossible. The brain needs at least 30 minutes to return to normal functioning after an argument. Counseling can be a safe environment to get constructive suggestions when facing a dilemma. Couples can sound impressive when they say “we never fight”. The reality is that if you don’t disagree you probably aren’t talking about important issues together. It is how you handle or manage the conflict that will determine the effect on your relationship.
Counseling can help keep the communication flowing when resolving a conflict.
Chronic high stress can squeeze the love and friendship out of relationships and kill it a little each day. It can be toxic to your marriage and family’s happiness. To heal your relationships from conflict and the wounds that evolve a third party is needed sometimes. Choose a licensed professional with experience in your area of concern to help return the healthy interaction and love you desire with your partner
