Coming Out of Depression With Hypnotherapy

Coming Out of Depression

How Hypnotherapy can lift the dark clouds and give you a break from the darkness

Why is it when you are depressed you simply can't see any way out?

Why do things always appear at their worst, even if you know things look better at other times?

The reason is that depression exhausts your brain, and so makes you interpret reality in black or white, extreme and negative ways.

Depression, or 'nervous exhaustion'

Depression is exhaustion brought about by an incredibly stressful or emotional time. Over-worrying and over-analysing, inward-looking negative rumination all cause and maintain depression.

One way to get a quick break from this onslaught is to get deep relaxation. This can give your brain the rest it needs and partially restore your depleted resources. Regular relaxation can help lift depression as part of a wider depression treatment program.

How Hypnotherapy can help with depression

I will conduct a gentle, permissive hypnotherapy session designed to help you feel positive and strong about your future as depression starts to fade from your life.

As you listen, you'll first notice how deeply you relax (depressed people often relax faster and deeper than anyone else because their brain is so in need of it).

Then, you'll start to see things in more optimistic ways, perhaps just a glimmer at first, then more and more as you continue to listen to the session. The cumulative effect of repeated deep relaxation and positive suggestion will help you feel more energised and positive in a more general way.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You Overcome Insecurity

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You Overcome Insecurity

Insecurity, a ubiquitous human experience, is often a source of distress and discomfort. We all carry insecurities that may originate from varied life experiences or personal perspectives. These insecurities can serve as roadblocks in our path towards personal growth and success. However, there's a lesser-known yet highly effective tool that can help overcome these stumbling blocks: hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a state of focused consciousness that opens the door to the subconscious mind. It's akin to stepping into a powerful control room, the place where our core beliefs, habits, and insecurities reside. By tapping into the subconscious, hypnosis allows us to tackle our insecurities at their very roots.

Insecurity is fundamentally tied to subconscious beliefs and self-perception. For instance, a single embarrassing moment from childhood can embed a deep-rooted belief that you're always the source of laughter. Such beliefs linger in the subconscious, persistently fueling insecurity.

During a hypnotherapy session, as a trained professional I will guide you into a relaxed state. They will communicate directly with your subconscious mind, bypassing the critical conscious mind, which often defends these insecure thoughts.

One significant technique used is positive suggestion. Here, I will replace your insecurities with confidence-boosting statements. If you're insecure about public speaking, for example, I may instill ideas such as "I am a compelling speaker" or "I am comfortable speaking to large groups."

Regression is another commonly used hypnosis technique. This method helps you revisit the origin of your insecurities in a safe environment, thereby helping to reframe those experiences positively. For instance, if your insecurity about your academic capabilities stems from a teacher's harsh comment, regression can help rewrite that narrative.

With repeated sessions, hypnosis can help rewrite the old programming in your subconscious mind, replacing insecurities with positive self-perceptions and beliefs. However, it's important to remember that while hypnosis is a powerful tool, it isn't a magic wand. It requires patience, openness, and commitment to experience the transformation.

While hypnosis is generally safe, it's not recommended for individuals with certain psychiatric conditions or for those who have difficulty distinguishing between reality and imagination.

In conclusion, hypnosis presents a potent method of addressing and overcoming insecurities, transforming the very narrative that holds you back. So, if you've been struggling with insecurities that seem insurmountable, consider giving hypnotherapy a try. You might just unlock the confident version of you that's been waiting to shine.

The Power of Hypnotherapy : A Pathway to Overcoming Anxiety

The Power of Hypnotherapy: A Pathway to Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety, a common and potentially debilitating condition, can manifest in many forms and affect people differently. When traditional treatment methods are insufficient or simply not a good fit, many seek alternative approaches to manage and alleviate their symptoms. Hypnotherapy has emerged as a noteworthy tool in the fight against anxiety, offering unique methods for managing this condition . Let's explore how hypnosis can aid in overcoming anxiety and the mechanics behind this fascinating process.

Hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, is a state of focused attention and deep relaxation, where the subconscious mind becomes more accessible. In this state, a trained hypnotherapist can offer suggestions to the client's subconscious mind to bring about desired changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

When dealing with anxiety, hypnosis can play a transformative role. Anxiety often stems from repetitive patterns of negative thought, which can be deeply ingrained in our subconscious mind. Through hypnotherapy, a client can access these deeply rooted thoughts and learn to reshape them. The process entails teaching patients to handle anxiety-provoking events in their imagination, which can serve as a form of rehearsal for real-life situations.

By altering the underlying neurophysiological states that drive our behaviors, hypnosis allows individuals to transition from a state of stress to a state of calm and relaxation. It helps to instill new, positive thought patterns, replacing the anxious ones that previously dominated the mind. As these new patterns take hold, they can lead to a decrease in anxiety symptoms, helping individuals regain control over their thoughts and feelings.

Hypnotherapy can also be beneficial in uncovering the root cause of anxiety. It's not uncommon for the origins of anxiety to be linked to past events or trauma. With the guidance of a hypnotherapist, clients can safely explore these underlying issues in the secure and controlled environment of a hypnosis session. The hypnotherapist then guides the individual through strategies for releasing and healing these deep-seated emotional wounds.

Despite the promising benefits of hypnotherapy, it's crucial to remember that it's not a magic cure-all. Like any therapeutic intervention, the effectiveness of hypnosis depends on the individual's openness to the process and their commitment to change. Hypnotherapy is most effective when used in conjunction with other treatment methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, lifestyle modifications, and regular physical activity.

While anxiety can be challenging to manage, there's hope in the variety of tools available for treatment. Hypnosis offers a unique and powerful approach to overcoming anxiety, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. By accessing and altering our subconscious thoughts, we can pave the way for significant change and lasting relief from anxiety.

Counselling And Its Benefits Explained

Counselling And Its Benefits Explained

Counselling is a form of therapy that helps individuals cope with emotional and psychological issues.

It is a confidential and non-judgmental process in which a trained professional provides guidance and support to individuals who are facing challenges in their personal or professional lives. Counselling can be beneficial for anyone who is struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, addiction, and grief. The main goal of counselling is to help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

This process involves identifying the underlying causes of their problems and developing strategies to cope with them. Counselling sessions can be conducted in a variety of settings, including in-person, online, or over the phone. The frequency and duration of sessions are typically determined by the individual's needs and preferences.

Counselling is not just about talking about problems; it is also about developing skills and strategies to manage them. A counsellor will work with the individual to set goals and develop an action plan to achieve them. This may involve learning new coping skills, improving communication, or changing negative thought patterns.

Counselling can also help individuals develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-esteem, which can improve their overall well-being. One of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship between the counsellor and the individual. It is essential that the individual feels comfortable and safe with their counsellor, as this can greatly impact the effectiveness of the therapy. A good counsellor will listen actively, provide empathy and support, and offer feedback and guidance in a non-judgmental manner.

In conclusion, counselling can be a valuable tool for anyone who is struggling with emotional or psychological issues. It provides a safe and supportive environment in which individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings and develop strategies to manage their problems. If you are considering counselling, I can provide the guidance and support you need to achieve your goals.

From Self-Doubt to Self-Assured: A Practical Guide to Building Unshakable Confidence

From Self-Doubt to Self-Assured: A Practical Guide to Building Unshakable Confidence

Do you often find yourself doubting your abilities or constantly seeking validation from others? Are you tired of feeling insecure and unsure of yourself? Building self-confidence is a journey that requires patience, perseverance, and the right tools. In this practical guide, we will explore the key strategies and techniques that can help you overcome self-doubt and build unshakable confidence. From identifying limiting beliefs to setting achievable goals, we will delve into the steps that you can take to boost your self-esteem and cultivate a positive mindset. Along the way, we will also discuss the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and embracing your unique strengths and talents. Whether you're looking to excel in your career, relationships, or personal growth, this guide will equip you with the skills and mindset needed to become self-assured and confident in all aspects of your life. So, let's dive in and start your journey towards unshakable confidence!


Understanding Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is the belief in oneself and one's abilities. It is an essential ingredient for success in all areas of life. When you are self-confident, you trust yourself and your decisions, and you are less likely to be affected by the opinions of others. Self-confidence is not something that you are born with; it is something that you develop over time. It is a skill that can be learned and improved upon.

One of the keys to building self-confidence is understanding the role that negative self-talk plays in our lives. Negative self-talk is the internal dialogue that we have with ourselves, and it can be incredibly damaging to our self-esteem. When we engage in negative self-talk, we reinforce our limiting beliefs and create a negative self-image. To overcome negative self-talk, we need to identify our limiting beliefs and challenge them. We can do this by asking ourselves questions like, "Is this belief true?" and "What evidence do I have to support this belief?" By challenging our limiting beliefs, we can start to reframe our thoughts and create a more positive self-image.

Another important aspect of building self-confidence is setting achievable goals. Setting goals can help us to focus our energy and efforts, and it gives us something to work towards. When we achieve our goals, we feel a sense of accomplishment, which can boost our self-confidence. It's essential to set goals that are realistic and attainable. If we set goals that are too high, we may become discouraged and give up. On the other hand, if we set goals that are too low, we may not feel challenged, and our self-confidence may not grow.

The Connection between Mental Health and Confidence

Mental health plays a significant role in our self-confidence. When we are struggling with our mental health, it can be challenging to feel confident in ourselves and our abilities. It's essential to prioritize our mental health and seek help when we need it. There are many resources available, such as therapy, support groups, and self-help books.

One of the most effective ways to improve our mental health is through mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and observing our thoughts and feelings without judgment. By practicing mindfulness, we can become more aware of our negative thought patterns and learn to let them go. Mindfulness can also help us to manage stress and anxiety, which can be major obstacles to building self-confidence.

Another way to improve our mental health is to focus on building mental strength. Mental strength is the ability to overcome challenges and adversity. It's the resilience and grit that we need to push through difficult times. Building mental strength takes time and effort, but it's a crucial aspect of building self-confidence. We can build mental strength by setting small goals and pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones. By doing this, we can prove to ourselves that we are capable of overcoming obstacles and achieving success.

The Importance of Self-Care and Self-Compassion

Self-care and self-compassion are essential components of building self-confidence. Self-care is the practice of taking care of our physical, emotional, and mental health. It's about making time for ourselves and doing things that make us feel good. When we practice self-care, we are sending a message to ourselves that we are worthy of love and attention.

Self-compassion is the practice of treating ourselves with kindness and understanding. It's about recognizing that we are only human and that we will make mistakes. When we practice self-compassion, we are less likely to beat ourselves up over our shortcomings. We can also be more forgiving and understanding of others, which can help build stronger relationships.

One of the best ways to practice self-care and self-compassion is by embracing our unique strengths and talents. We all have something that makes us special, and when we embrace these qualities, we can feel more confident in ourselves. We can also use our strengths to achieve our goals and make a positive impact on the world.

Conclusion

Building self-confidence is not an easy journey, but it is a worthwhile one. By understanding the role of negative self-talk, setting achievable goals, prioritizing our mental health, and practicing self-care and self-compassion, we can build unshakable confidence. It's important to remember that building self-confidence takes time and effort, but the rewards are well worth it. When we are self-confident, we are more likely to achieve our goals, build strong relationships, and live a fulfilling life. So, take the first step on your journey towards self-assurance today!

5 Surprising Ways Mindfulness Can Improve Your Mental Health

5 Surprising Ways Mindfulness Can Improve Your Mental Health

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed out. That's why many people are turning to mindfulness as a way to improve their mental health. Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It may seem like a simple concept, but the benefits of mindfulness are numerous and surprising. In this article, we'll explore five surprising ways that mindfulness can improve your mental health. From reducing anxiety to boosting your mood, you might be surprised at just how much mindfulness can do for you. So, take a deep breath, let go of any distractions, and let's dive into the world of mindfulness and mental health.

Mindfulness can reduce anxiety.

One of the most significant benefits of mindfulness is that it can help reduce anxiety. Anxiety can be a debilitating condition that affects many people, and it's often caused by worrying about the future or dwelling on past events. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to focus on the present moment and let go of worrying thoughts. This can help reduce anxiety and improve your overall mental health. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in reducing anxiety symptoms. In one study, participants who practiced mindfulness for eight weeks reported a significant reduction in anxiety compared to those who did not practice mindfulness. Another study found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder. If you're struggling with anxiety, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as deep breathing or body scan meditation. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your anxiety symptoms decrease.

Mindfulness can improve your mood.

Another surprising benefit of mindfulness is that it can improve your mood. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to be more present in the moment and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This can help you become more aware of negative thought patterns and shift your focus to more positive thoughts. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in improving mood. In one study, participants who practiced mindfulness for four weeks reported a significant improvement in mood compared to those who did not practice mindfulness. Another study found that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was effective in preventing relapse in people with recurrent depression. If you're struggling with your mood, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful breathing or mindful walking. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your mood improves.

Mindfulness can help you sleep better.

Sleep is essential for good mental health, but many people struggle with getting enough sleep. Mindfulness can help you sleep better by reducing racing thoughts and helping you relax. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to focus on the present moment and let go of worrying thoughts, which can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Studies have shown that mindfulness can be effective in improving sleep quality. In one study, participants who practiced mindfulness for six weeks reported improved sleep quality and daytime functioning compared to those who did not practice mindfulness. Another study found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was effective in improving sleep quality in people with insomnia. If you're struggling with sleep, consider incorporating mindfulness into your bedtime routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful breathing or body scan meditation, before bed. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your bedtime routine, and you sleep better as a result.

Mindfulness can improve your relationships.

Good relationships are essential for good mental health, but many people struggle with building and maintaining relationships. Mindfulness can help you improve your relationships by improving your communication skills and helping you be more present in your interactions. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to be more aware of your thoughts and feelings, which can help you communicate more effectively. You also learn to be more present in your interactions, which can help you build deeper connections with others. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in improving relationship satisfaction. In one study, couples who participated in a mindfulness-based relationship enhancement program reported improved relationship satisfaction and communication skills compared to those who did not participate. If you're struggling with your relationships, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful listening or mindful speaking. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your interactions, and your relationships improve as a result.

Mindfulness can increase your resilience.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, and it's an essential component of good mental health. Mindfulness can help you increase your resilience by improving your ability to cope with stress and adversity. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to be more present in the moment and let go of worrying thoughts. This can help you become more resilient in the face of adversity and bounce back more quickly from setbacks. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in increasing resilience. In one study, employees who participated in a mindfulness-based resilience training program reported improved resilience and coping skills compared to those who did not participate. Another study found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was effective in improving resilience in people with chronic pain. If you're struggling with resilience, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful breathing or body scan meditation. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your resilience improves as a result.

Conclusion

Mindfulness is a powerful tool for improving your mental health, and the benefits are numerous and surprising. From reducing anxiety to boosting your mood, improving your sleep, relationships, and resilience, mindfulness can help you become more present in the moment and let go of worrying thoughts. If you're struggling with your mental health, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. It may take some time and practice, but over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your mental health improves as a result.

Beat Stress And Anxiety Using These 4 Techniques

Beat Stress And Anxiety Using These 4 Techniques

Do you get the feeling there is so much more to life than you are able to grab hold of right now? Perhaps you get the sense that certain things are holding you back - stress, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, shyness - and that if you could simply overcome these barriers, you could take the world by storm! With these 4 powerful techniques, you can finally bring some light back into your life.

Have you ever met anyone who didn't feel they had stress in their lives? I can't say that I have every come across anyone who said to me "I have no stress in my life, I feel at peace all the time"

In fact, most of the people I come across are paralysed by stress and anxiety - without even knowing it, they have let stress slowly build in their lives, little by little, without even realising that it was impacting their relationships, happiness, career, health and entire lifestyle.

Let me ask you these important questions:


1. Have you felt trapped - like a caged monkey who can't seem to break free no matter how hard you try?

2. Have you all but given in to the pressures of life and find yourself often drifting through days, months even years without really accomplishing anything substantial?

3. Do you have more unhappy moments than you can remember in the past?

4. Do you find that even when you do get a spare moment, that you can't seem to really enjoy the things you used to?


Chances are negative stress has eaten away at your life, here's 4 ways to reduce the stress you feel now...


1. Recognise and realise that stress is a response you have to things that occur in your life. This may seem less than powerful, but in fact, if you convince yourself that you control your response to stress, you gain hope and belief that you can really make changes to lower your stress response in your life.

2. Take time for you. Many people take from us, our employers, friends, children, even the media and society at large. Its tempting to just give in and give up the piece of your day that must belong to you. By giving up your private relaxation, personal thinking or meditation time you are NOT benefiting those around you, in the long-run you are giving up control, allowing more stress into your life which will result in you being LESS effective to those around you.

3. Exercise. Its not necessary to instantly become an exercise fanatic. Too many of us think in terms of all or nothing. Start by committing to a morning, lunch hour or evening walk 3 times a week for at least 40-minutes. If you prefer a gym, then start slow and build up an exercise regime. Not only will this benefit you in terms of personal image, weight loss, energy gain, but it has been scientifically proven that exercise produces chemicals in your brain that help you overcome stress.

4. Become more self-aware. Its often the case that when we feel most stressed, we also feel that we have lost who we really are. In fact, losing a sense of what is really important to us is one of the biggest factors preventing people from pulling out of feelings of stress and hopelessness. Yoga and meditation are incredibly powerful techniques that are both simple to learn (at least the basics), and can lead to incredible changes from the inside out to alter the stress balance in our lives.


Yoga and meditation will take some up-front commitment, but within a few weeks of consistently practicing these principles, you can experience some very dramatic changes in your ability to handle stress.

With the majority of our population being paralysed by the inabiltiy to control stress leading to anxiety, it is perhaps one of the most desctructive forces threatening today's society.

At an individual level, you have the ability to change your level of stress dramatically, but that change must come from within and it must start with your own belief that indeed, you can control your response to stress. Following the four principles outlined above will certainly allow you to quickly overcome the limitations of stress and anxiety in your life.

Are You Allowing Depression To Take Control Of You?

Depression.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Are You Allowing Depression To Take Control Of You?

Feeling sad is very normal for human beings. You feel it when you break-up, lost a job or someone dies. After feeling down, you should soon recover from the sadness and move on with your life. Unfortunately not everyone can do this. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, people get sad for long periods of time. This is considered to be depression.

Depression is considered to be a psychological disorder that can be very harmful. Mild cases of depression would make a person cry for no reason and feel inconsolably sad. People, who have extreme depression, find themselves unable to function normally. They stay at home, do not sleep and even refuse to sleep. The worst depression is when you begin contemplating ending your life because you find no reason to be alive.

Some women, after giving birth, feel depressed because of the enormity of their new responsibility and the sudden changes in their lives. In this case, the condition is referred to as post-partum depression. Other people prone to depression are those who have lost someone suddenly, those who have very poor coping mechanism and those who actually find pleasure in feeling depressed.

If you have been feeling sad for no reasons at all, you should speak with a professional to determine whether or not you have an obsessive compulsive disorder. . Many depressed patients, unfortunately, become addicted to medication and find it difficult to feel better without the prescription drug. Basically this can increase your risks of being drug-dependent.

There is another less harmful treatment which involves Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy works by targeting your subconscious and embedding anti-depression ideas. Since the subconscious actually dictates about 90 percent of the brain’s activity, it is not surprising that hypnotherapy has become effective in treating psychoses like phobias and addiction. Depending on the level of depression, a person can feel its effects after one to five sessions. The treatment is safer, less expensive and less probing.

For people who are depressed, you should first admit that you have the disorder for the treatments to be effective. You should also make sure that your commitment does not waiver. Life is too short and too beautiful to be sad all the time. By getting help, you are giving yourself a new lease in life. It will also free you permanently from depression’s bad effects.

Do Not Let Your Anxieties Overcome Your Self-Confidence

Do Not Let Your Anxieties Overcome Your Self-Confidence

Some people who struggle with anxiety may sometimes lose their self esteem and self-confidence during the process. As a result, here is a list of techniques a person can use to help manage their anxieties, fears, and self esteem.

Remember that practice makes perfect. Whenever it comes to dealing with your anxieties or any other task; practice, patience, and persistence is the name of the game. If you don’t get the desired results the first time around, then keep trying until you do get the results. Through practice, you will become better at the task at hand and your self-confidence will increase. This also applies to managing your anxieties.

In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn what works, what doesn’t work, and what you need to improve on in managing your fears and anxieties. For instance, you have a lot of anxiety and you decide to take a walk to help you feel better. The next time you feel anxious you can remind yourself that you got through it the last time by taking a walk. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety the next time around.

Sometimes, we can get anxious over a task that we will have to perform in the near future. When this happens, visualise yourself doing the task in your mind. For instance, you and your team have to play in the championship volleyball game in front of a large group of people in the next few days. Before the big day comes, imagine yourself playing the game in your mind. Imagine that you’re playing in front of a large audience. By playing the game in your mind, you will be better prepared to perform for real when the time comes. Self-Visualisation is a great way to reduce the fear and stress of a coming situation and increase your self-confidence.

Write down on a list everything that you are thankful for. Do not take anything for granted. The next time you feel down, take out your list and review everything that you have listed. This is a great way to remind us of what we have.

As a Therapist, I realise it can be difficult to manage your anxieties and self-esteem. If you have trouble then contact me I can help you manage your fears, anxieties, and self esteem. I will be able to provide you with additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current problem. In the meantime, remember to take it one day at a time.

Divorce is not a solution to the problems that both of you are facing. A painful act hurts both you and your partner. A relationship can take days, months or even years to build up, but it takes only a few seconds to break up that relationship. Therefore, divorce should be the last thing in your mind while in a relationship. However, certain times things go out of your control and situations compel you to think of divorce. Listed below are some useful tips following which you can mend your relationship once again and not end up having a divorce.

 The first thing that you must do is to stop accusing each other or yourselves for the mistakes or arguments. Impeaching only turns the focus from the problem and ends up in a temporary solution. Blaming each other satisfies the ego of you temporarily. Therefore, instead of impeaching each other, seek a solution to the problems that is causing an argument between both of you.

 Responsibility is a major thing that many people tend to avoid. This is a very important part of a happy relationship. Even if it is the fault of your partner, you take responsibility to extinguish the existing faults in the relationship.

 Lack of proper communication is the primary reason for many divorces. Therefore, communicate effectively with your partner. Not only express your views, but also listen calmly to your partner’s views. Listening can reduce much underlying faults in a relationship. Therefore, give your partner the perogative to express his or her notions.

Compromise is another major role that plays in a relationship. Make yourself resilient to situations. Certain compromises can lead to a happier relationship.

 Even if you are not getting any results following the previously mentioned tips, then consult a marriage professional to seek help. Often it happens; an interference of a third party resolves the differences in the relationship. As a professional marriage counsellor I will Listen to the problems of both partners and give solutions to those problems

 Finally, do not traduce your partner and feel the relationship to be an onerous one. Instead, take it lovingly and accept the fact that responsibilities, compromises are a part of life. Therefore, it is possible to make a relationship happy once again even if it is on the verge of divorce.
