Geelong's trusted name in relationship marriage, individual and family counseling. Most people are hoping for a relationship of love, respect, intimacy, friendship, commitment, newness, longevity and purpose. BUT, partners don’t reach with an instruction manual and unfortunately our relationships can often turn into war zones of resentment, anger, loneliness and confusion. We all bring our pasts’ into our current relationship ways of thinking how things should work, or responses to things we hate or harm us. How to differ without losing respect for your partner. Negotiating changing roles and responsibilities at all stages of life. Loving quiet despite illness disability and trauma events. New accepting of how relationships work. How to remain total in the midst of life’s challenges. How to remain balanced no matter what events pull us off center. There are times in life when you don’t get to choose or handle what happens to you. With support and guidance in rough times we can, bit by bit, assist you labor towards making mighty new choices about how you live fully and respond to the challenges you face. At Connections, we bear counseling to encourage you with personal challenges such as. Help with identifying healthy choices and positive actions. Urge you Cd the strength to accept the things you cannot change. Life is too short and precious: together we can work it out. Family counseling can help with many family challenges, such as: Assisting children young people have a voice in family matters. So the task of family counseling is to aid families Cd their own way to better functioning. A family is like a mobile: it can twirl around quite happily but if one portion of the changeable is pulled, the whole mobile is disturbed. On the other hand, if the changeable is immobilized, none of the parts of the moveable can labor separately and independently. Instead of thinking only of the behavior of one individual, a family therapist knows how to look at patterns, and behaviors between family members. What is obvious as family counseling does not always mean that all the family comes altogether to all sessions. Sometimes one person refuses to reach but using the mobile picture, if one person changes, it inevitably changes the total family, perhaps even the one refusing to come!.
