Love Heal Grow: Relationship Counseling & Resources

Is COVID wreaking havoc on your relationship? In this time of uncertainty, my heart has been heavy thinking about the additional stress upon relationships and families as COVID-19 spreads in our communities. I know I have been feeling the stress as my husband and I do our best to make the right decisions to keep our family safe and healthy, juggle our full-time jobs, entertain and care for our toddler around the clock, and worry about our parents and grandparents (oh! the wor...rying!). There have been more than a couple of moments of eye-rolling, sharp tongues, and tears as we adjust to this new (temporary) normal. Maybe you and your partner were all too familiar with these moments of frustration and disconnection before COVID hit, and now you are wondering, How will we get through this? Will our relationship last? In fact, maybe you clicked to read this article after reading that divorce rates are climbing in China. Please don’t let that be us, you thought. You’re scared because the future is unknown. In so, so many ways right now. But you know you want your relationship to be stronger. You know you love this person you’ve built a life with. You want to be a team through this, supporting each other, coming out maybe even stronger than you were before. When our relationships are going well, we face challenges and crises with more resiliency. This is science! We need connection. BUT when we’re fighting with our partner because we just got off a conference call with work from our makeshift office (hello, corner of my bedroom!), we haven’t gotten a workout in three days (why didn’t I buy that Peloton?), we just found out our sister was put on furlough (and she just bought that new house) AND here you are, sweetheartstaring at your phone, feeding the kids mac and cheese (again!) while Disney+ is streaming in the background and the house is a mess Do we feel connected or does our partner feel like just another person letting us downwhile we feel totally alone amidst the chaos. Relationships don’t change overnight, but I am all for some simple tips to help weather the storm when the crisis hits.

What To Expect: Couples Counseling It’s normal to be nervous or even overwhelmed while you make the decision to call a counselor and take the first step to getting help. Your willingness to explore this option and take the first step shows how brave you can be and how much you care about improving your relationship. Sometimes all that’s holding us back from making the phone call is that we have no idea what to expect from the counseling experience, so we’re unsure if it will ...even help. #sac #sacramento #916 #lovehealgrow #Love #couplegoals #sextherapy #inlove #therapy #happy #beautiful #relationship #motivation #couples #relationshipgoals #truelove #onlinetherapy #psychology #couplescounseling

Let’s talk about a 5-minute de-stress routine that anyone can easily add into their workday or stressful day at home. This is a simple breathing techniquewhich I love because when things are simple, it’s very easy to add them into our day and still notice some great positive effects. I started using this technique a few years ago. At the time, I was noticing my stress increasing at work and I needed a way to cope.... There were so many great things I loved about my work, and it was also a job where I felt like I was bouncing around one thing to the next, often having more and more added to my platemore and more I could be doing if there were only more hours in the day to get it all done. I felt overwhelmed, frustrated and stuck. Stress was taking a toll on my body, my attitude and my relationships. More here: https://www.lovehealgrow.com/square-breathing/

I hear it so often. With my couples in for couples counseling, We used to be so spontaneous, but now With my individual therapy clients, It’s just been so busy With my friends and colleagues, Maybe in a couple weeks, but now I have [work project] and [home responsibility], so... In my own head, I really would like to read that new book/go for a long walk/spend a few hours catching up and giggling with friends and family, but I need to tackle my to-do list first. I guess Can you guess the 5 words that complete each of these sentences? there’s no time for fun. Have you been there? Are you there right now? I know I get stuck in this loop every so often. I have every excuse in the book to do what I have to do instead of what I know deep down would truly re-energize me. https://www.lovehealgrow.com/theres-no-time-for-fun/
