I need help.
Anxiety, anger, loneliness, and depression are feelings that everyone experiences.
Can you handle it alone?
Can talking to a friend or family member help?

Anxiety, anger, loneliness, and depression are feelings that everyone experiences.

Can talking to a friend or family member help?
Answer: Yes and Yes.
Sometimes, though, you may need more.
When your emotions begin to dominate and interfere with how well you are functioning in your everyday life, it may be time for you to seek help.
Evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatments have been shown to work for many people.
Alfred Alder said everything we do relates to the Need for Belonging. Jung said, "[We] cannot stand a meaningless life." What is your purpose in life? How do you belong? These are questions that matter.
Now you're ready.
There was a terrible car accident. In the backseat were twins. Fortunately, both survived. The first one comes out from the wreck and says, "I'm never going to ride in a car again. It's too dangerous." And he doesn't - from then on, he avoids riding in a car - he worries about death.

There was a terrible car accident. In the backseat were twins. Fortunately, both survived. The first one comes out from the wreck and says, "I'm never going to ride in a car again. It's too dangerous." And he doesn't - from then on, he avoids riding in a car - he worries about death.
The other twin exits the same crash and says, "I'm so lucky to be alive. I'm going to live every day to the fullest." One experiences RESILIENCE, the other experiences TRAUMA.
Your mind is still trying to make sense out of things that were so painful the images or memories replay over and over again. You find yourself stuck in a pattern of intrusive memories, negative emotions, and avoidant or aggressive behaviors.
You may have developed a set of coping skills and beliefs stemming from the trauma - but those ideas and behaviors are no longer helping you now.
You feel trapped.
Evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatments such as CBT and Insight Therapy have been shown to work for many people.

How well do you really know each other? Find more ways to complement your partner.
How well do you really know each other? Find out ways to complement your partner.
We're all struggling to be present - and it's so important to be there for your partner.
"The Protector" - "The Gardener" - "The Great Compromiser" - these are archetypal roles we can embody within the relationship to know what to say and do next.
It's not what you say sometimes - it's how you say it that can make all difference. Or maybe just don't say anything - and let the body language do all the talking...
Disagreements and conflicts are normal and healthy. They can be purposeful and helpful to the couple. Being mean or stonewalling are not appropriate or necessary. Find the best way to agree to disagree or to reach The Great Compromise.
Every couple is facing milestones throughout the life of the relationship: the first look, the first kiss, the first time you touch hands... Moving in together, proposing, getting married, buying a house, raising kids... or not. These are the many choices and decisions.
Crush is the father of four kids, ages 11 to 23 - married for 24 years to a lovely Brazilian - and still standing! He says he's not an expert yet - but he can understand what you're going through - and be there to help.
