We all share in common that throughout our lifetime, there will be times of challenge. For some the difficulties may occur early on in their life. For others, it’s having to face adversity at middle or later stages. Life is a journey that leads us down many roads; some are ones we have chosen for ourselves while others are beyond our control. Relationships become derailed for many reasons. With life events, relationships must evolve and change to adapt to problems or new life circumstances. Over time, couples may experience periods of increased conflict characterized by criticism, blame, resentment, defensiveness, and withdrawal. This can lead couples to question if their relationship can make it or if there is any hope. These are signs that a relationship needs attention and pursuing couple counselling can help bring to light some of the answers to the questions, “how did we get here, and what can we do about it?” While counselling may not save all relationships, I have helped many individuals, couples and families make it through to the other side of some very challenging relationship issues to find a renewed connections.
