Are you looking to improve your relationships, but don't know how ? People often come to couples therapy without the benefit of knowing what a healthy relationship really is. They don't know how to express anger, sadness and disappointment without attacking their partner or trying to extract guilt.
Couples therapy becomes the place to untangle all the things that you might have been told were acts of love, but were in fact acts of criticism, judgment, harshness, coldness or self-preservation. It is the place to learn healthy love. Couples can learn real skills to improve their communication, build trust, increase intimacy, and generally sustain a strong and loving relationship

The Web is Overloaded with articles describing anxiety, depression, addictions and substance abuse. It tells you what the symptoms are, how they effect people, how they originated, etc.. It doesn't usually help the individual to personally deal with these disabling disorders. Anxiety, depression and addictions often ruin lives, and unfortunately, can end up killing a victim.
You already know what your symptoms are. You are painfully aware of how they affect your emotions and your life. You want to deal with them and get answers and treatment for your particular problems.

Change means having goals and knowing how to reach those goals.
Understand how individuals set goals. Someone else can not set your goals for you. Successful goals need to reflect your new way of thinking.
New behaviors will follow.
One of the most successful ways to develop goals is to make them BEHAVIORAL. This identifies them clearly and gives you a specific place to start.
Break the goals down to be as specific as possible.
Goals are most helpful when set in a positive direction. Not just the removal of something negative. Behaviors should be seen and structured as something positive.
Strive towards a counter conditioning approach. Set a positive goal that is incompatible with a negative behavior or the problem itself.
Identify and talk about a successful experience you have had due to developing a clear goal. Then build more ideas on that.
Go SLOW! Take the ‘first step, Then take the ‘second step, Then take a ‘third step, Short-range goals are good beginnings. Intermediate goals will follow and that will lead into long range goals.
"First Things First”. Take the most urgent problem first. Look at your situation. Assess your situation and begin to develop steps to rectify your problem. Understand how your thinking needs to change..
Be alert! Avoid situations that could be potential problems.
Identify problems early.
Build in a feedback mechanism. (Whom do you trust to share your ideas with?)

Heading into 2024: A Fresh Start for Your Marriage!

Heading into 2024: A Fresh Start for Your Marriage!
As we approach the dawn of a new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the journey of your marriage and embrace the opportunity for a fresh start. The turning of the calendar signifies not just the passing of time but a chance for renewal, growth, and a reinvigorated commitment to the one you love. If you and your partner have been navigating rough waters, fear not – the upcoming year holds the promise of a revitalized, stronger relationship. Here's why and how you can make 2024 the year your marriage thrives:
The new year is like a blank canvas waiting for vibrant strokes of positive change. Together with your partner, commit to fostering a more positive and nurturing environment. Small, intentional actions can make a significant difference – from expressing gratitude to simply spending quality time together.
Rather than focusing on the enormity of fixing everything at once, set achievable goals for your relationship. Whether it's improving communication, reigniting intimacy, or sharing responsibilities, breaking down your aspirations into manageable steps can make the journey feel less daunting.
Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful marriage. Make a pact with your partner to create a space where open, honest, and non-judgmental conversations can flourish. Listen actively, express your feelings, and be receptive to your partner's needs and concerns.
Inject a dose of romance into your marriage by planning regular date nights or surprise gestures. It could be as simple as a handwritten note expressing your love or as elaborate as planning a weekend getaway. The key is to prioritize and celebrate your connection.
If you find that the challenges in your marriage are persisting, consider seeking the guidance of a professional marriage counselor. Trained therapists can offer valuable insights, teach effective communication strategies, and provide a neutral space for both partners to express their feelings.
As you embark on this journey together, make it a habit to express gratitude for the positive aspects of your relationship. Focusing on the strengths and joys you share can create a more optimistic and appreciative mindset.
Marriage is a journey of continuous learning and growth. Make a commitment to learn more about each other, explore shared hobbies, or take up new challenges together. A sense of shared purpose can strengthen your bond.
Acknowledge and celebrate the progress you make along the way. Whether it's a month of improved communication or successfully navigating a challenging situation together, every step forward is a reason to celebrate and reinforce your commitment.
Remember that a healthy marriage starts with healthy individuals. Encourage each other to prioritize self-care – physically, mentally, and emotionally. When both partners are thriving individually, the marriage is likely to benefit.
As 2024 unfolds, take moments to reflect on your shared journey. Appreciate the growth you've experienced, the challenges you've overcome, and the love that has endured. Each day is an opportunity to build upon the foundation of your shared history.
In the spirit of new beginnings, let 2024 be the year you and your partner rejuvenate, rekindle, and reinforce the love that brought you together. Your marriage is a dynamic and evolving journey, and with dedication and optimism, the upcoming year holds the potential for a beautiful chapter in your shared story. Cheers to a happy and thriving marriage in 2024!
