There is help for relationships
Love is one of the most basic human needs, and in relationships we find some life's most profound joys -- and greatest pains.
Dysfunctional dynamics can occur between spouses, romantic partners, parents and children, siblings, in blended homes, or in friendship. Learning to manage discord is essential to the creation of a safe and happy environment.
Love is a process, not an event.

"The most important part of your life is the time that you spend with people. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone. You need all of them and they need you."-Damon Lindelof
Successful Relationships require work
Whether romantic, professional or personal. One of the most crucial elements of a healthy relationship is communication. Enhancing communication involves learning to convey information effectively to each partner.
When dysfunction exists for a period of time, resentment and negative feelings towards those we love can corrode our capacity to connect with them and with ourselves. When we reach an impasse in any relationship, an outside professional therapist can help couples come to common ground, reach communication goals, and solve problems in a meaningful and lasting way. Skills such as conflict resolution, compromise, mutual understanding, needs expression, and boundary creation are invaluable resources when attempting to heal the disconnect between family members.
Personal accountability from all parties is essential if shifts in the relationship dynamic are to occur. Insecurities, anger, and blame prevent a person from feeling peace. Whether or not the other person is willing to address the concerns, personal healing can always take place. When one individually heals, a higher level of understanding establishes groundwork for growth in the relationship.

“My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.”-Maya Angelou
