Relationship Problems
Relationship problems can occur for many reasons - from poor communication to differing expectations and a myriad of life events and experiences. No relationship runs smoothly all of the time. If we recognise this and try to manoeuvre through the difficult times together, then it is possible to remain together in a warm and loving relationship.
Some relationships unfortunately do come to an end and the reasons can be many. How we cope will have an impact on our mental health as well as those around us.
Relationship break-up can create a range of powerful emotions:
- fear
- uncertainty for the future
- anger
- sadness
- loneliness and isolation, and
- a sense of failure.
It can be difficult to adjust to new circumstances and this can affect our mental health.
Worrying about the impact of relationship break-up, separation or divorce on children can add to the stress of the situation. Family or relationship counselling can help in coping with relationship problems. Sometimes, however, relationships cannot be fixed and professional support can help you to cope with this situation.
