Overcoming Obstacles: Navigating Recovery, Relationship Problems, and Healing from the Past

Are you in recovery from an addiction but lack emotional sobriety?
Are you and your partner living in separate worlds, or constantly fighting to the extent that it affects your mental health?
Are memories from the past and the defenses you have constructed to protect yourself keeping you from moving forward in the present?

If you identify with these challenges and find yourself seeking professional help, you may be experiencing some of the following:

  • You feel empty and lonely and yet isolate yourself from others.
  • You struggle to avoid relapse with your drug or behavior of choice.
  • Your relationships are filled with tension or in ruins.
  • You have uncontrollable outbursts of anger or feel sad much of the time.
  • You feel the need to be doing things all the time and can't seem to slow down.
  • You are afraid of leaving situations – like relationships or jobs that are not good for you.
  • You have financial problems that never seem to improve, no matter what you do.

Or you may have relationship problems that affect your relationship satisfaction, such as:

  • You fight constantly over the most insignificant things.
  • You lack emotional or physical intimacy.
  • You have lost the romance that you once had.
  • You don’t make time to talk about what is meaningful.
  • You sleep in separate beds and don’t have sex.
  • You feel disconnected and emotionally alone and afraid to ask for what you want.
  • You disagree about raising your children and are at an impasse.
  • You suspect or know that your partner has been unfaithful.

“I was lost – in all ways…“

I came to therapy due to the tragic and unexpected loss of my husband. The trauma was unbearable and I was numb. I did not know where or who to turn to. I was lost – in all ways; feelings, mind, body and soul. I had no direction and so sense of security. I felt small – child-like. Today I can…

“I came to counseling because I was desperate“

I was unable to have a long-term relationship. I had an addiction which consumed my personal time and money. It separated me from the opportunity to be with women in a genuine way. I felt it was “hidden” and so I couldn’t share it with anyone. I created a lot of shame and another degree of sep…

“I didn’t even know people could change this much.“

We came to therapy wondering whether we could make it work. We’d been engaged for 5 years but our fights were getting worse. After spending time in therapy, we are now getting along so well, working as a team, and are married and expecting our first child. I didn’t even know people could change this much! It’s been amazing.

“I was lost – in all ways…“

I came to therapy due to the tragic and unexpected loss of my husband. The trauma was unbearable and I was numb. I did not know where or who to turn to. I was lost – in all ways; feelings, mind, body and soul. I had no direction and so sense of security. I felt small – child-like.
Today I can feel – both physically and emotionally. I’m in touch with what’s inside of me and realize a connection to the flow of my inner world. I sense it now. I was just knotted up inside but now the energy can flow. I still miss my husband a great deal and I’m still sad that he is gone. But I’m also happy for me – I’m alive and I can go forward with my goals. I feel secure now. Mentally, I don’t feel so lost. I now see my family in a totally different light. It’s made me more respectful and mindful of others. I can understand that others’ reality is different from mine and I can accept that today. I can feel my truth and I’m more present. I’m feeling content and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way. I now realize it took a horrific amount of energy to keep me numb. Today, I can begin to take control of my life in healthy ways, and not be frozen in fear.

“I came to counseling because I was desperate“

I was unable to have a long-term relationship. I had an addiction which consumed my personal time and money. It separated me from the opportunity to be with women in a genuine way. I felt it was “hidden” and so I couldn’t share it with anyone. I created a lot of shame and another degree of separation and disconnection from people and the world. I felt a certain amount of helplessness towards it. I really believed I would never be able to get out from under that addiction and have healthy relationships. I also knew deep down that I had to resolve some feelings about my childhood. I am beyond the normal age of marriage and still single. Something needed to be “treated”. I had no idea or connection to either what I needed or how to communicate that to another person.
Today, I’m in the richest, most mature, most open and intimate relationship I’ve ever been in. I can dialogue about my difficulties and stay close, rather than walk away, which is what I always did in the past. I wanted to break it off several times but with your help, I was able to realize the benefit of staying in the relationship and that nothing in life is perfect. I’m more mature. I’m aware of the feelings that are a part of being human. In the past, I thought everything was an intellectual process. I knew I had feelings, but only wanted to experience the “good” ones. I know now it’s ok to feel sad or angry. When my sister-in-law died recently, I walked through the grief and because of that I felt a closure with the process. That never happened with my brother. He died before I came into therapy and because I never grieved his death, there was no sense of closure.
With this model of therapy I felt the results early on and that became reinforcing. Then it began to build on itself. I noticed my greater awareness and my capability of at least understanding how to express what I was feeling. It’s changed my life.
