When Your Struggles Start to Feel Like You

by

Are you struggling with something right now?

Maybe you’re anxious about something at work. Maybe you and your spouse have been fighting more than you used to. Maybe one of your kids is having a hard time, and it’s wearing you down. Maybe you’ve lost someone, or you just feel disconnected from people in a way you can’t shake.

Whatever it is, here’s what I notice in my office. When we struggle long enough, the struggle starts to feel like us.

How To Get Out Of Fight Or Flight When You Are Stuck

by

Most days, somewhere in the middle of everything, I hit a moment of panic. Not the debilitating kind. It’s more of a “what am I going to do” panic, and when it shows up, part of me wants to check out and go find something fun instead. There’s a real pull to drive home and get back in bed, or just go for a drive and get away from all of it.

Have you ever felt that? Or maybe it runs the other direction for you. Maybe you feel an intense urge to fix the thing right now, so strong it makes you dive in hard and get aggressive about it.

Finding Rest When You Feel Overwhelmed and Weary

Life has a way of becoming overwhelming without us even realizing how heavy things have gotten.

Responsibilities stack up. Expectations grow. Things take longer than they should. And before you know it, you’re mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, and spiritually worn down. If that’s where you are right now, you are not alone. Even counselors feel this way. I feel this way. Working with clients, juggling family, and managing the stress of daily life. None of us are exempt from it.

Processing the Past Year: Why Reflection Is Healthier Than Resolution-Making

by

From a therapeutic perspective, reflection is often far healthier and more effective than jumping straight into resolutions. Reflection allows space to acknowledge what has happened, how it has impacted us, and what we truly need moving forward. Before deciding where you want to go, it’s important to understand where you’ve been.

Giving up phone and putting it in a box to help improve relationships and marriage.

Over the past few months, I’ve been paying closer attention to my digital life and how I spend my time. What I’ve found is that certain platforms are consuming my energy and attention, but not giving much in return. They haven’t led to meaningful results, deeper creativity, or healthier relationships.

New Year, New Hope: Goal Setting for a Stronger Marriage

January is a perfect time to reflect on the past year and reassess your goals for the year ahead as a couple. Some years are filled with joy and ease, while others require persistence and growth through challenges. Regardless of the season, as Christians, we have the ability to overcome habits and actions that no longer serve us and embrace new behaviors that lead to a flourishing relationship.

Love Is: 5 Tips to truly show love in relationships

Tips to truly show love in relationships

It is not uncommon for me to remind clients during sessions that love is more than an emotion we feel, but also a choice we make daily and an action. Love is an emotion we feel powered by connection. Love is a choice we make each morning when we wake up, and actively throughout the day. Love is the way we show affection to our partner. Love is such a deep concept. I was reading, A Roadmap for Couple Therapy, in some of my downtime, and in chapter 3 the quote above really stuck out to me. Let’s break this down and explore it together, shall we? 

Strengthen Yourself: The Power of Community

by
The Power of Community

As human beings, we’re naturally drawn to connect with others. We crave relationships that bring us joy, support, and strength. But while connection can be fulfilling, it can also expose us to misunderstandings and moments of hurt. Life often presents us with difficult moments when we feel isolated and vulnerable, and it’s in these times that the power of community can step in, providing us with comfort, understanding, and a safe space to begin the healing process.
