Adding little members to your family is a huge milestone for your relationship, but takes an incredible amount of perseverance, patience, and learning to become great partners while remaining great partners in this new family dynamic.
Begin Your Journey Counseling welcomes all current and prospective parents with our parental counseling. We'll help you explore your anxieties and fears and teach you proven strategies to prepare yourself for the job, while preserving the happiness of everyone in your household.
1. Take stock of how having children has impacted your regular life.
2. Learn new strategies to cope with the challenging emotions that come with this change.
3. Implement new methods of taking charge and restoring normalcy to the home.
4. Balance your marriage with being a parent, so that everyone is happy and cared for.
The simplest answer to this question is that the idea of raising another human being and being responsible for their welfare is scary. However, that fear can be broken down into a variety of factors that go into being a parent and fostering a positive household.
Raising a child can be draining on your emotions, your energy levels, your finances, and so on. In addition to this, the drain can often cause couples who were previously happy to suddenly start fighting more often as that attention is no longer placed on the relationship.
We work with you to explore these problem areas. Acknowledging problems is the first step to solving them. By identifying the problem, you'll work with us to arm yourselves in becoming better parents and better partners to create the happy household you deserve.
Unfortunately life is unpredictable and even the best intentioned couples can find themselves suddenly going astray.
Going through changes in the workplace ranging from a big promotion of responsibilities to losing your job altogether can suddenly drop a bomb of stress, skewing priorities and leading to stress on your partner and children.
Additionally, mental health problems not only take a toll on you as an individual, but have a direct impact on your partnership and your relationship with your children.
Begin Your Journey Counseling is trained and experienced with helping individuals conquer any problem that might be affecting your relationship or ability to parent. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.
