Sometimes we experience ourselves and others in ways that bring us sorrow or distress. We may be feeling trapped in a hurtful intimate partner or group relationship. We may be grieving the loss of someone we love to illness, death, or to choice. We may be facing a life-changing, gut-wrenching decision and stuck at the fork in the road, wondering which way to turn. We may be moving through a painful separation and divorce. We may be working to resolve loyalty conflicts in our first family or step-family relationships. Stressful situations like these may lead to sadness, worry, irritability, anger, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, indecisiveness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, avoidance, or recurring and intrusive thoughts, images, and feelings. To recapture our balance and be at peace, we may receive help from family, friends, support groups, physicians, spiritual leaders, psychologists, social workers, or marriage and family therapists.
