Anxiety and Stress
|
There is a relationship between anxiety and stress, but they are not quite the same thing. Stress is tension regarding a specific event (i.e. a job or an exam), while anxiety is non-specific worry about something in the future. People with anxiety may turn to addictions, repetitive routines, or develop self-defeating habits to find relief.

Arguments
|
Conflict plays a role in any relationship. It plays a vital role in helping two people reconcile their differences. When conflict is poorly handled it can cause distress in the relationship. Couples may continue to argue about the same thing for their entire relationship without considering the importance of what is said and done during a difficult situation.

Communication
|
Feeling understood and having an understanding of one's partner is what brings couples to share one another's lives more deeply. Couples that struggle with communication issues often allow communication to mask deeper relationship issues. Communication, the basis of all relationships, typically works best when kindness and fairness are reported by both partners.

Depression

Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is a feeling of personal worth and value. Regardless of your current state of personal achievement, intelligence, or outer beauty it is important to be able to value yourself. Self-esteem creates the foundation for feelings of well-being, good relationships, and a sense of a full and well lived life.

Trauma
|
Experiences that become overwhelming, scare, or even terrify us, can leave a lasting impression. The symptoms can negatively impact our work and home life and leave us feeling stressed, hopeless, and sometimes even incompetent. Trauma is more than just PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and can affect anyone, not only war veterans.

Trust
|
People trust in different ways, some people trust others quickly, while others are slow to trust. Trust is achieved by observing consistent good behavior across time. For some, regaining a trust that has been lost may seem impossible while others are able to forgive quickly.
