How to have open, honest conversations in your relationship

The other day my husband, Dan had a reaction about me, which he chose to share. He said something along the lines of, “you know, you are really a good balance between being creative and detail-oriented.”

I liked what I heard. “Oh? Tell me more”, I said. He went on to elaborate, and I ended up learning more not only about myself in that conversation, but about him as well—how he perceives me, types of behaviors he appreciates, etc. It was a rich and interesting conversation.

Afterwards, I got to thinking… It’s so easy to say “tell me more” to our partner when what we hear from them is pleasurable to our ears; when it fits with our ego or how our self-image wants to be seen.

Yet, even when we hear something that isn’t so pleasurable, such as “you know, you are always running late,” there is still the same opportunity to learn about each other and to have that same rich conversation.

There are often 2 communication traps that often get in the way, though:

The delivery from partner #1 isn’t so great because they say it from a place of frustration– it comes through as attacking and accusatory. This triggers partner #2’s limbic system to shift into fight or flight, to which ineffective reactions ensue.

What partner #2 hears doesn’t fit with their self-image, incites shame or guilt, or reminds them of (what they view as) a weakness that they have been trying to grow away from. None of these inspire a curious or open response.

You probably find yourself both in partner #1 as well as partner #2 shoes. In any case, these are both problematic and there are tools you can use to help!

Partner #1: Work on timing… just because you feel frustrated, doesn’t mean now is the best time to share your thoughts with your partner. In fact, it’s probably the worst time. Exercise self-discipline, take some deep breaths, see the bigger picture of your relationship and what you are trying to create together, and wait until you feel calm and more objective. Then share from a place of curiosity, “I notice this about you, what do you think?”

Partner #2: Just because your partner says something that feels accusatory, doesn’t mean you are justified to fire back. There are other options available such as, “I want to hear what you are saying, and I can’t when you say it that way. Can you rephrase that?” Or, “I want to hear what you are saying, and can we talk more about it tonight after dinner?”

Doing either of those behaviors is a skill, and sharpening a skill just takes practice.

Remember to be as open to hear what your partner notices about you that may be hard to hear as what feels like a compliment. Also try having a discussion about what YOU (not your partner) would like to shift in terms of your ineffective reactions; what you do when you are not the version of yourself. Hold yourself accountable to it, and then just watch how you both begin to dance together.

If you would like more help moving through these difficult interactions reach out to us for a free consultation.

Navigating Life's Challenges: How Adult Counseling Can Support Your Journey

Most people face challenges that can leave them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their future. As you navigate the complexities of adulthood, it's common to encounter obstacles that can impact your mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. This is where adult counseling comes in – a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore your concerns, gain clarity, and develop strategies to overcome life's hurdles.

In adult counseling, you'll have the opportunity to address a range of common issues that can affect your daily life. For instance, you may be struggling with career stress, feeling burnt out, or unsure about your professional direction. Perhaps you're navigating significant life transitions, such as divorce, grief, or a major move. Whatever your challenges, adult counseling provides a safe and confidential environment to process your emotions, identify patterns, and develop coping strategies to manage these difficulties.

One of the primary benefits of adult counseling is its focus on building emotional resilience and promoting mental well-being. Through regular sessions, you'll learn effective techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and other emotions that may be holding you back. You'll develop a greater understanding of yourself, including your values, strengths, and goals, which will empower you to make informed decisions and take control of your life. By cultivating emotional resilience, you'll be better equipped to handle life's challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and maintain a sense of balance and harmony.

When seeking adult counseling, it's necessary to find a counselor who resonates with you and your unique needs. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: look for a licensed therapist with experience working with adults and issues similar to yours; consider their therapeutic approach and whether it aligns with your preferences; and don't hesitate to ask questions or seek a second opinion if needed. By doing your research and finding the right fit, you'll be more likely to establish a strong therapeutic relationship and achieve your counseling goals.

In summation, adult counseling is a valuable resource that can support you in navigating life's challenges. By acknowledging your struggles and seeking help, you're taking a courageous step towards a more balanced, fulfilling life. Don't be afraid to reach out for guidance – with the right support, you can overcome obstacles, build resilience, and unlock your full potential. For support in navigating life's challenges, consider reaching out to a professional like those at Adult Counseling.

On Individualism

[alohadetoxflorida]

When people realize they are facing challenges in their daily lives caused by stress or anxiety, they may use individual counseling as a potential solution. Individual counseling offers a complete and collaborative approach where the patient and therapist work closely together to explore, recognize, and tackle the mental health, emotional, and occasionally physical issues impacting the individual. Our counseling program integrates evidence-based and holistic therapies to provide effective treatment.

[pvdpsychological]

Benefits of Individual Therapy

Individual therapy can help people with mental illnesses learn how to deal with negative emotions, thoughts, and feelings. A therapist can help you learn healthy coping skills and come up with a plan to effectively manage triggers.

Individual therapy can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, identify underlying causes of the mental health problems you are dealing with, and facilitate lifestyle changes.

A therapist can help you analyze your thoughts and emotions and cultivate self-awareness. A self-aware person is confident, communicates effectively, and makes better decisions.

Mental and physical health go hand in hand. People grappling with mental health problems are at higher risk for physical health problems. You can apply the skills you learn in therapy to manage your symptoms. As your symptoms subside, both your mental and physical health improve.

Your therapist will help you work on your existing skills. They will teach you ways to maintain your emotional and mental health and avoid triggers after therapy ends.

What this Valentines Day has me thinking about…

20 years ago my husband, Curtis, and I became an official couple on Valentines Day. It’s easy for me to picture the very moment he asked me. How nervous and excited I was. How infatuated we were with one another!

So much has changed in those 20 years, it was that thought that spurred a conversation with my husband about our relationship. Now to add a bit of context I often tell people that Curtis is about as far away from the therapy world, mindset wise, as you can get. The way I think and express myself is extremely foreign to him. The same is true for me, how he expresses himself can be a mystery to me. This has lead us to have a number of struggles to the point of our relationship almost ending and us seeking help in our own couples therapy. You can learn more about that in the article “How to choose a couples therapist“.

Needless to say, to make it to this 20 year mark we both had to grow…A LOT! Here is the conversation I had with Curtis about the journey of our relationship:

Stacy: If you could have know how to do something better at the beginning of our relationship what would that have been?

Curtis: To talk and listening better. To know how to do more open communication

Stacy: Do you feel like couples therapy helped you?

Curtis: Yes

Stacy: How?

Curtis: I learned how to hear what your side of things are and not go into my automatic reactions. To slow down and try to understand each other worlds and to function as a cohesive unit.

Stacy: Was there anything else you learned?

Curtis: Learning to bring up things that bug me instead of holding them in, letting them build up, creating resentment and allowing that to effect how I treat you. This is still something I’m working on.

Stacy: What made you not want to tell me?

Curtis: How I thought you would react or respond.

Stacy: When you finally would tell me, we’re your thoughts about how I’d react correct?

Curtis: Often times no. Often my assumption about how you would react wasn’t true. I wasted time resenting you and being distant. Now I realize that speaking up is important and that my spouse needs to be a person I’m vulnerable and open with. It’s still hard sometimes and it’s work but it’s worth the effort.

It’s like thinking the grass is greener on the other side, it isn’t. You get a whole other set of issues. You will just end up repeating the same stuff that doesn’t work. If you don’t learn what you need to do to be healthy in your current relationship you won’t have what you need to make the next one any better; I think people think they will and that’s just not true.

Stacy: I completely agree. How do you feel I have grown to be a better partner to you?

Curtis: Learned to live with a robot. (He was joking. Robot is a term of endearment we use for him because it’s hard for him to express his emotions) But seriously, you learned how to show up in ways that I need that aren’t as natural for you. You’ve learned how to ask me for things so that it doesn’t feel like nagging to me.

Stacy: Of course I never thought I was nagging you, so that was a challenge for me. Is there anything else you feel I do better now?

Curtis: Yeah, you learned to stop when I get full. Full meaning, I couldn’t take any more information in and I needed time to process; when I didn’t have enough bandwidth to continue.

Stacy: That’s true. This was also a hard one for me to learn because our “full” looks so different. It means I have to stop a lot, because I can often hold more information than you at one time; specifically around conflict and emotions.

Curtis: Yes that is true. You also don’t take things as person when I forget, which can be often, you aren’t as sensitive about it.

Stacy: Yes. I know now it’s not about me or your feelings for me and if it’s an issue we just talk about the specific situation. Are their things you still think you are working on?

Curtis: How to communicate more about emotions and to put things in their home (meaning home organization)…I learned this is not about you being controlling, which is what I used to believe.

Stacy: What do you think it is for me?

Curtis: Your level of internal stress.

Stacy: Yes, that is exactly right. I think I’m still learning how support you in non-emotional ways. I sometimes have to slow myself down and realize at times supporting you looks like space vs. being together…like making sure you have time to go to the gym without seeing it as you not wanting to spend time with me. I also think we’re still working on how to be a better team and stay connected when life gets busy, but I think that is something we will alone growing in.

Do you think we would have gotten to this same place without couples therapy?

Curtis: No because we were just stuck in the same cycle and we wouldn’t have learned the tools to break that cycle and create a new path forward.

Stacy: I agree 100%. I think there were times we both wanted to leave the relationship but we’re now both very thankful we stayed. We have both grown in ways we wouldn’t have if the other person didn’t push us to grow. What do you think?

Curtis: Absolutely, you helped me become less of a robot.

It was a really good conversation and I even learned more about Curtis, which is fun and feels connecting. What is great about what we’ve learned and why I decided to share it, is that the issues that almost destroyed our relationship are extremely common and completely possible to work through. We were able to grow and keep growing because we have a few key things, here is what they are:

We’re both individually motivated to work hard and grow.

We’re both willing and able to look at our part of the dysfunctional pattern. We stopped blaming the other and focused on the changes we individually needed to make; completely change our relationship.

We had a skilled, experienced couples therapist to help us navigate those growth areas when we got stuck; both individually and as a couple. We would also get help again if we needed it.

As Curtis said the work wasn’t and isn’t always easy but it is worth it. That is my other reason for sharing this conversation and for working with couples, I want struggling couples out there to have hope that there is a way forward. If you are reading this and realize you are stuck and need this kind of change, please Reach out we can help.

Mindful Activism: Balancing Mental Health with Advocacy Work

Activism is often born out of a deep sense of injustice and a desire to create meaningful change. For many people with marginalized identities, this work is not just a choice but a necessity. Advocacy becomes a way to challenge systemic inequalities and fight for the rights and dignity of those who have been historically oppressed. However, because activism work is never-ending, it can take a toll on mental health. The emotional labor involved, coupled with the constant exposure to trauma, can lead to stress, fatigue, burnout, anxiety, hopelessness, and depression (Underwood, 2023). This is where mindful activism comes into play—a practice that prioritizes mental wellbeing while continuing the crucial work of advocacy.

Understanding the Emotional Weight of Activism

Activism is often emotionally charged. Whether protesting in the streets, organizing community events, or engaging in online advocacy, activists frequently confront painful realities. The weight of these experiences can be overwhelming, especially when change is slow, or the systems in place seem insurmountable. For activists from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized communities, the struggle is even more personal, as the issues they fight against often directly affect them or their loved ones. In addition to fighting systems of oppression, they’re also personally facing these same systems daily.

This emotional labor, while necessary, can lead to significant mental health challenges. Activists may experience feelings of helplessness, frustration, or anger. The constant exposure to injustice can also trigger trauma responses, particularly for those who have experienced similar forms of oppression. Without proper mental health care, these feelings can accumulate, leading to stress, anxiety, depression, or burnout (Underwood, 2023).

The Importance of Mindfulness in Activism

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment. In the context of activism, mindfulness can serve as a powerful tool for maintaining mental health. It allows activists to recognize when they are feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained and to take steps to care for themselves before burnout sets in (Gertjejanssen, 2021).

Incorporating mindfulness into activism can take many forms. For some, it might involve regular meditation or breathing exercises to help manage stress. For others, it could be about setting boundaries—knowing when to step back from advocacy work to recharge. Mindfulness also encourages activists to focus on the present moment, which can help reduce feelings of helplessness about the future. To learn more about mindfulness, see our previous blog post on how mindfulness can improve mental health.

Balancing Advocacy with Self-Care

One of the most important aspects of mindful activism is recognizing the importance of self-care. Advocacy work is often seen as selfless, with activists dedicating their time and energy to others. However, it is essential to remember that self-care is not selfish. In fact, taking care of oneself is crucial for sustaining long-term activism. Self-care and wellness are forms of resistance necessary for survival (Pitts, 2023).

Self-care can be as simple as taking breaks, engaging in hobbies, or spending time with loved ones. Self-care can also involve professional mental health support, such as therapy or counseling, to process the emotional toll of advocacy work. By prioritizing self-care, activists can ensure they have the energy and emotional resilience to continue their work (Pitts, 2023). To learn more about self-care, see our previous blog post on why self-care is important.

Creating a Culture of Support

It is important for activist communities to create a culture of support where mental health is prioritized. This can involve checking in on fellow activists, offering support when someone needs to step back, and creating an environment where discussing mental health challenges is okay. By building a supportive community, activists can help each other navigate the emotional challenges of their work.

Mindful activism is about balancing the urgency of advocacy with the necessity of mental wellbeing. Mindfulness and self-care practices can help activists sustain their efforts for the long haul while protecting their mental health. After all, a movement is only as strong as the individuals within it, and ensuring the wellbeing of those individuals is vital to creating lasting change.

Common Misconceptions About Pre-Marital Counseling

Pre-marital counseling is a valuable tool for couples looking to strengthen their relationship before tying the knot. However, despite its benefits, several misconceptions can deter couples from seeking this type of counseling. At Better Together Relationship Counseling NYC, we aim to debunk these myths and shed light on the true purpose and advantages of pre-marital counseling. Here are some common misconceptions and the reality behind them:

1. "Pre-Marital Counseling is Only for Couples Who Are Struggling"

One of the most widespread misconceptions about pre-marital counseling is that it’s only for couples experiencing significant problems. In reality, pre-marital counseling New York is designed for couples at any stage of their relationship who want to build a stronger foundation before marriage. It’s about preparing for a successful future, not just addressing current issues.

Reality:

Proactive Approach: Pre-marital counseling is a proactive step that helps couples address potential challenges and develop skills to enhance their relationship.

Strengthening Bonds: It can help strengthen communication, improve understanding, and align expectations, even for couples who feel their relationship is already strong.

2. "Counseling Will Reveal Only Negative Aspects of Our Relationship"

Another common misconception is that pre-marital counseling will only focus on the negative aspects of a relationship. While counseling does address challenges, it also highlights strengths and helps couples build on them. The goal is to provide a balanced view and equip couples with tools to handle both positive and negative aspects of their relationship.

Reality:

Balanced Perspective: Counselors work with couples to explore both strengths and areas for growth, fostering a holistic understanding of the relationship.

Building Skills: The focus is on developing effective communication, conflict resolution, and other skills that contribute to a healthy relationship.

3. "Pre-Marital Counseling is a One-Size-Fits-All Approach"

Some couples believe that pre-marital counseling follows a rigid, one-size-fits-all model. In reality, effective pre-marital counseling is tailored to the unique needs and dynamics of each couple. At Better Together Relationship Counseling Nyc, our approach is customized to address the specific concerns and goals of each couple.

Reality:

Personalized Approach: Counselors adapt their methods to fit the couple’s individual needs, preferences, and relationship dynamics.

Flexibility: Sessions are designed to address issues that are most relevant to the couple, ensuring a personalized and effective counseling experience.

4. "Counseling is Only About Fixing Problems"

Some people view pre-marital counseling solely as a means to fix problems rather than a way to enhance the relationship. While addressing potential issues is part of the process, counseling also focuses on enriching the relationship and preparing for a successful marriage.

Reality:

Enrichment Focus: Counseling helps couples set goals, improve communication, and understand each other better, contributing to a more fulfilling relationship.

Future Preparation: It prepares couples for the challenges and joys of marriage, providing strategies for long-term success.

5. "Only One Partner Needs to Be Committed to Counseling"

A common misconception is that only one partner needs to be committed to pre-marital counseling for it to be effective. In reality, successful counseling requires the active participation and commitment of both partners. Both individuals need to be open, honest, and willing to work together for the counseling to be truly beneficial.

Reality:

Joint Effort: Both partners must engage in the process, share their perspectives, and work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes.

Shared Goals: Commitment from both partners ensures that the goals of counseling are aligned and that both individuals are invested in the relationship’s growth.

6. "Counseling Will Guarantee a Perfect Marriage"

Some couples might expect that pre-marital counseling New York will guarantee a flawless marriage. While counseling provides valuable tools and insights, it does not guarantee a problem-free relationship. It does, however, equip couples with the skills and strategies needed to handle challenges effectively.

Reality:

Skill Development: Counseling provides tools and strategies to navigate challenges, but a successful marriage also depends on ongoing effort, communication, and mutual respect.

Realistic Expectations: Counseling helps set realistic expectations and prepares couples for the ups and downs of married life.

Conclusion

Pre-marital counseling is a powerful resource for couples preparing for marriage, but it is often misunderstood. By debunking these common misconceptions, we hope to encourage more couples to embrace this valuable process. At Better Together Relationship Counseling NYC, we are dedicated to helping couples build strong, healthy foundations for their marriage through personalized and effective pre-marital counseling.

If you’re considering pre-marital counseling, don’t let misconceptions hold you back. Reach out to us to learn more about how we can support you and your partner in creating a successful and fulfilling marriage.
