Perhaps you can pinpoint the exact event when things changed, or perhaps it happened over time. Either way, you feel stuck, alone or like you don’t know who you are anymore. You constantly feel overwhelmed and you find yourself unable to focus or relax. Your reactions can feel overly intense: sometimes you know what triggered you, sometimes you don’t, and yet other times it feels like everything is a trigger. Maybe this brings up beliefs of “something’s wrong with me” or “I’m broken.” You find yourself trying to numb those memories, thoughts and feelings with anything that can distract you. But this is not how you want things to be.

Marital issues can weigh heavily on our heart, leaving us feeling lost, confused, and disconnected from the partner we once cherished. Perhaps communication has become strained, leading to unresolved conflicts and increasing emotional distance. Trust may have been broken, leaving wounds that are yet to heal. You are longing for more intimacy, both emotional and physical, but find yourselves stuck in negative patterns that seem impossible to overcome. These challenges are slowly eroding the foundation of your relationship, leaving you with a sense of dissatisfaction, loneliness, and unmet needs.

I have always been interested in relationships & have always believed that our optimal well-being is intimately tied to the relationships in our lives. Relationships are not only with our romantic partners but with our families, friends, children, & ourselves. Unfortunately, throughout our journeys, we may find ourselves disconnected from those whom we love most. It can be difficult to navigate the barriers & stressors we face with our significant others & family members, & sometimes it may be overwhelming.
