 The Benefits of Relationship Counseling



Have you ever considered doing couples counseling but did not know if you should or need to? There are many reasons relationship counseling can be beneficial for you and your partner. Most people think that couples counseling is made for those who are married or have current issues, but in reality, it is beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship. Couples tend to wait until there is a definite problem in their relationship before seeking guidance and tend to turn to therapy as a last resort. The purpose of this blog is for our readers to learn more about the benefits and importance of participating in couples therapy.


Couples therapy can help you gain a better understanding of your relationship. By talking with you and your partner, your therapist can give you honest and unbiased feedback. This can reveal unhealthy habits neither of you are aware of and the therapist can provide ways to improve those habits to avoid issues before they progress any further. The therapist is a neutral party that can listen to both you and your partner's sides can make a huge difference in growing and understanding your relationship. 


If you and your partner are seeking couples therapy due to an existing or known issue, this will provide you both with a safe space to discuss it. Again, your therapist will be able to listen to both sides of the issue. This will give your therapist an idea of what is happening and how both parties are feeling. The therapist will be able to provide exercises to practice at home to help resolve the occurring issue. This way, both parties are heard and validated. By choosing to work through issues in this setting, it shows that you and your partner are willing to put in the effort needed for your relationship. 

 

Therapy can also help couples who have children. Having kids can put emotional stress on a relationship. By attending therapy, you can talk through struggles and learn alongside your partner how to work better as a couple to be the best parents for your kid(s). This is also a good time to bring up any parenting style issues that you may not feel comfortable talking about at home. 

 

While the list of advantages does not end here, these are some of the major benefits for couples who seek out relationship counseling. You may think that you and your partner do not need therapy but in reality, every couple can benefit from it. Whether you are having issues or are trying to prevent them in the future, couples therapy is beneficial for everyone.

Ways to Support Our Veterans’ Mental Health

Each year on November 11, we honor the service and sacrifice of those who have served in our armed forces. Now called Veterans Day in the United States, the day was originally called Armistice Day and marked the official end of the hostilities of World War I. Armistice Day is still recognized across the world in countries that remember the anniversary of the end of World War I. Many of those who have served in our armed forces have been affected by their service – some in obvious ways, and others in ways that are not readily apparent. The unique and challenging lives led by our military service members can lead to a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and traumatic brain injury. Some veterans may be suffering from one or more of these conditions at the same time. Here are some ways that you can support veterans in your life who may be dealing with these challenges.

  NeuroStar TMS Therapy  NeuroStar therapy uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to address key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with several mental health ailments, but more specifically for those with depression. The exact cause of depression remains unknown but is believed to be caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.  What is NeuroStar Therapy (TMS)?  The magnet has similar strength levels to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. It is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain that is responsible for controlling mood and behavior. The magnetic pulses can potentially provide a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, creating the possibility of long-term remission for depression.  What You Can Expect During a NeuroStar Therapy Treatment NeuroStar therapy is a non-invasive treatment and non-drug treatment. The patient experiences little

Telepsych:  Virtual Services  Within the past several months, a majority of mental health treatment has shifted from face-to-face to virtual Telepsych. While this did require some adjusting, many people are surprised by how happy they are with virtual therapy or Telepsych. Virtual services allow you to create a safe and comfortable space that’s on your own terms. Having these services virtually, means you get to decide where you are and how you customize your environment. At CEH, online services work very much like an in-person session, except you are not in the same room as the provider.  For patients who cannot go to our facilities in Charlotte-Metro, Winston-Salem, Chapel Hill, Asheville, or surrounding areas you can receive assistance anywhere that’s convenient for you.  Center for Emotional Health offers therapy and medication management services for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.  We offer both therapy and medication management appointments via telepsych.
