Marriage counseling at Take Charge, Inc. can be a great way to start the year off right with your partner and come together to set real expectations for your marriage. Marriage counseling works when both partners work together to compromise on many different things a marriage can encounter on any day.

Marriage is one of the most important relationships we will ever have, but it can also be one of the most complicated. Despite the fact that America is the most prosperous society, we face an epidemic of depression and anxiety based on emotional starvation. Couples often feel disconnected in their most important relationship … their marriage.

Do you have goals for your marriage? Many people have this misconception that once they get married, they will live happily ever after – on autopilot. The reality, however, is that marriage requires work and effort from you and your spouse. Love brings you together, but conscious, continuous effort makes your marriage a success. This is where marriage goals come in.

Marriage counseling can help couples achieve attainable goals.

Goals should be set so you and your spouse can meet them easily. If possible, set up a date night once a week, once a month, or whenever possible. Terri Clinton Dichiser utilizes Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to help couples reconnect with one another in marriage counseling. She uses couples counseling to help couples recognize the patterns they have established in their relationship and offers tools and strategies to break those patterns to create a renewed sense of safety and security with their spouse.

EFT research shows:

· More than 70% of couples turned their relationship around; from distressed – no matter how distressed – to happy in 15 – 20 sessions, and

· More than 90% of couples “significantly improved.”

· EFT is couples counseling therapy based on 20 years of clinical studies with proven results for couples in crisis. EFT couples counseling is based on therapy with your spouse in the safe environment of Terri’s office to help you create a haven of safety and strength in your marriage. Marriage based on a connection with your spouse that makes you stronger as an individual and in your marriage.

The most successful married couples cite friendship as a key ingredient of their long-term success. Work toward developing activities you enjoy and a safe emotional connection-this is the person you will turn to no matter what.

Research shows that most couples wait six years on average before seeking help with marriage counseling. The longer you wait the harder it can be to repair your relationship. Take Charge now.

Individual counseling at Take Charge, Inc. can help you get through the year without feeling the guilt of not keeping a New Year’s resolution. When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, how many times have you or someone you know lost the same ten pounds? What about joining a gym – how many times have you joined one but never really got into a steady routine of going? And then there’s learning that new language. How many years in a row did you vow that this was the year it would happen? If this sounds familiar, listen up, and don’t feel bad, because you are not alone.

As a matter of fact, according to a study by The University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology, only 39% of people in their twenties achieve their resolution goals each year. The number keeps decreasing with age. By the time you are in your fifties, only 14% of people achieve their resolution goals each year.

So why is this? Well there are a few reasons:

We bite off big chunks that aren’t realistic. We go from doing nothing to saying we will do everything.
We make commitments based on other people’s expectations. We worry too much of what other people are thinking instead of asking ourselves, what will make “me” happy?
We don’t have the right mindset. We have not made that internal shift.

With individual counseling at Take Charge, Inc. in Overland Park, Kansas, Terri Clinton Dichiser believes healing and understanding go together and most of life’s issue can be managed and maintained through a consistent, commitment to you.

Terri provides a safe, comfortable environment that allows you to put your thoughts and feeling into words, without fear of criticism or judgment. She will guide you into a better understanding and possibly a different perspective on your life’s circumstances.

One way to achieve small goals is to throw away your New Year’s resolutions and think about what you should be doing all year long. Do you want to start a blog? There’s no need to have to feel like you should have a new post every day. Breaking up what you want to do into smaller-sized goals will help you achieve what you want to.

Start small and have commitment to every action. Do not make excuses when you fail. Simply acknowledge it, determine why it happened and move on. Once you see small victories, the large ones will follow.

You don’t have to be ‘crazy’ or under significant duress to seek individual counseling Sometimes our beliefs or expectations of ourselves or counseling result in a delay in seeking help until situations become serious, or we are already in crisis. While no issue is too big or small, many people tell us that they wish they had come to counseling sooner.
