All About You

• Have you suffered ...
• Are you anxious ...
• Do you have anxiety over a relationships?
• Have you lost interest in the things you loved to do?

Consider a Mental Health Checkup

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome

Any negative event that threatens your well being and becomes a disorder of recovery may cause present and future distress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, fear, rapid mood changes, and a host of intrusive thoughts and dreams.

All mental and emotional illness separate us from reality. We may turn to self-mutilation, drugs, sex, pornography, excessive spending on another behavior to distance the pain.

Seek help: The number one coping strategy.

Relationships

• Challenged to provide a strong sense of self for each partner
• Perfect the "art of intimacy" after eight hour workday
• Ignore soaps and movies that imply right around the corner: A Perfect One
• Grateful and blessed for those who met and mated a soul mate
• At risk: mutuality and humility - all of us act sometimes like 10s and sometimes like 4s
• One is often content with present circumstances
• The other: affairs, flings, flirting, and fantasizing on the web.

Couples ...

• Chemistry
• Comfort
• Communication

There is no warrentee / guarantee in your relationship

• Your investment is a daily gift and not an insurance policy of permancy of the other.
• One may leave for a host of reasons
• Processing the loss is a major accomplishment

Therapy for relationships: ask yourself ...

• Should you stay or go?
• Should you try couple's therapy?
• Can I change?
• Can my partner change?
• Does cheating always end the relationship?

Continued problems that go unresolved and compulsive cheating will probably weaken the love-bond which is worse than divorce!
