Sometimes it can be so difficult to make the right choice. What is the right choice? What does that even mean? There are multiple reasons why decision making can be challenging. The more we can understand these reasons, the greater chance we have to break out of the indecision cycle and re-claim our choice! #choosebetter #decisionmaking #personalgrowth #timothyyenpsyd

Due to the pandemic, many people are finding themselves stuck at home more than ever before. This can definitely put a strain on romantic partners because the boundaries of individual needs and collective needs often get blurred. Instead of seeing the situation as a misfortune, it can be an opportunity to raise your emotional communication skills. Here are 4 ways to support your partner through hardship by Laura Guida: 1. Assert your needs (and get your partner to assert his/...hers) 2. Actively listen, don't problem solve right away 3. Ask for help from your support system 4. Align on a plan and discuss possible options to address a challenge. We are ultimately better together.
