Relationships & Life

 

 

Please take a few moments to visit my Blog, "In My NOT-so-humble Opinion." It might help.

Coaching not just for the Hollywood Elite crowd anymore. Coaches come in many varieties. Some specialize in weight loss, some in parenting, others in leadership. I've been trained both as a Life Coach and as a Career Coach, because to me, when one area of your life suffers, this bleeds over into the other areas, sometimes to the point where you don't know anymore which is cause and which is effect.

Society likes to compartmentalize these different areas of our lives to keep our preception of things all neat and tidy...but tell me, when did life itself ever follow the rules? It likes to throw curve balls at us. I'm here to help you figure it out.

Relationship & Life Coaching

Are men and women really from different planets?

Of course they are, but that's beside the point. Let's look at what we can fix.

Why do some relationships work, while others just don't? Have you been in the same dead-end relationship forever? Or losing someone's interest before you even get into a relationship?

Do you feel "stuck?" Frustrated? Angry?Depressed? All of the above?

More importantly, are you ready to change it?

In our daily relationships, the road isn't always a smooth one. Most of the time we fall into behavioral patterns that seem to become a way of life for everyone involved. We keep trying to produce different results this time, only to become more deflated and frustrated when it doesn't work. It doesn't work because the same actions produce the same results, every time. Check the next column for the rundown on the typical "cycle."

The Cycle Of Despair

Here's the typical cycle. See if it rings any bells.
  • First, we face the same old crisis or situation that's been bothering us for, perhaps, years.
  • We struggle with these issues and the confusion surrounding them, to the point where we rationalize that...
  • We will stick it out and get through it — again.
  • Our ability to ride the storm reinforces our belief that we can tough it out. We're strong, after all. Right?
  • We keep plugging along until the underlying problem is once again buried and remains unresolved. Until the issue resurfaces again, and throws us right back into the cycle.

Feeling this level of frustration isn't a bad thing (even though it certainly feels like it!) It is really just a signal that it's time to change things up a bit because they're not working as they are. That doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is dead, though at times it feels as if you're trapped in the Roller Coaster From Hell, doesn't it?

The Solution

Many remain in that cycle for many reasons.

"I don't know how to fix this."
"I don't know where to start."

"I'm afraid of what will happen."
"It's not my fault. It's his!"

"What will others think?"
