Unrest of spirit is a
mark of life; one
problem after
another presents
itself and in the
solving of them we
can find our
greatest pleasure..
Karl Augustus
Menninger (1893–
1990)
More Info about Marriage & Family Counseling
Here are some common reasons that people seek
professional counseling services:
- Emotional problems – grief, depression, excessive
anger or jealousy, anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks.
- Relationship problems – difficulties in getting along with
co-workers, emotional, sexual or communication
problems, difficulty initiating or maintaining relationship,
divorce.
- Family issues – parenting difficulties, step family
adjustment, aging parents, adult child of a
dysfunctional family.
- Stress – related to major life transitions, job “burn-out”,
or general life overload.
- Addictive behaviors – overuse of food, alcohol, drugs,
sex, work, co-dependence or “loving too much.”
- Low self-esteem – feelings of insecurity, shyness,
worthlessness, unhappiness with physical presence.
- Life’s challenges – personal and spiritual growth,
career development, midlife crisis, women’s issues.
These problems -- especially substance abuse, family difficulties,
emotional disorders and other personal problems -- can result in
negative and unnecessary effects on a person’s life. Treatment, rather
than "willing or wishing it away" through will power or discipline, is a
more comprehensive, longer lasting, cost effective approach.
