Sometimes, our intimate relationships can fall into a bit of a rut. Our hellos and goodbyes can become stale and routine - with quick kisses that we donโt really pay attention to.
When we make time for what is referred to as the โ6-second kissโ, our stress hormone (cortisol) gets released and our connection hormone (oxytocin) gets boosted. These shifts increase powerful feelings of love and strengthen the confidence, trust and intimacy we feel towards our partner. Anything beyond 6 seconds only serves to deepen the relationship even more! #love #relationshipadvice #relationshiptips #relationshipgoals #valentines #couplegoals #yeg #yyc

There are all sorts of reasons why a person might decide not to pursue therapy as a support option when they are struggling with an emotional/mental health issue (check out our November 4th blog to read more about this).
Perhaps the person is just not ready to fully address whatever they are experiencing. They may not have the time, energy or desire to unpack some of the potentially painful feelings that will come to the surface as they deal with their issue more intensely. And that's okay!
No matter how good our intentions might be, we cannot force someone into therapy and expect that it will end successfully. The decision to participate in counselling is each personโs own to make. And, as the person who is trying to be supportive, your role is to be patient and empathetic, even if you believe therapy would help. Therapy is beneficial only when the person who is participating in it feels the time is right to change their life.
Visit our blog at TacitKnows.com (link in the bio) to get more insight on other reasons why people sometimes say no to therapy.

Who here can relate? ๐
It seems like once we decide we are ready to start addressing our mental health issues, life sometimes throws us a curve ball!

That feeling of losing yourself is a slow process โ it doesnโt happen overnight. It can seem almost impossible to find the time or the energy to be able to tune into our own needs, wants and feelings on a consistent basis. But we must make this process of self-reflection a priority each and every day, if we want to be able to feel truly happy and content in our life.

This is an excellent reminder that people may need different levels of support in any given situation. One person may need a listening ear, while another might be looking for advice. If we take time to ask our loved ones this simple question - "What do you need?" - it can make a world of a difference in our ability to successfully help.

Pursuing new friendships and new romantic relationships can be exhausting. Getting to know new people is hard work. Some will obviously not be a good fit for us. And others will be wonderful people but not exactly what we are needing in our life at the moment.
After a bunch of false starts and incomplete connections, we might be tempted to start thinking that there is something wrong with us. The whole process can often be hard on our self-esteem.
To make things easier, spend time getting to know yourself first. Be selective. And make sure the quality of your new relationships truly meets your wants/needs.
The truth is - not everyone is going to be your person - and thatโs okay!
