Leave a Legacy
Anxiety symptoms can negatively impact your partner and family relationships. People who have experienced negative life events and anxiety often struggle with nightmares, interrupted sleep, tension, low frustration tolerance, and irritability.
You may be overly concerned about safety, threat, or harm to you or loved ones. As a result, you may snap at your partner or act paranoid or overly controlling, especially when you or your loved ones try to participate in activities outside the home. To avoid conflict and tension, you may choose to avoid participating in activities altogether.
You may have lost interest in doing the things you used to enjoy, such as going out for a date, or no longer desire intimacy. Naturally, this transformation places a strain on your relationship and before long your marriage is at risk of separation.
Unfortunately, the average couple waits six to seven years before they seek help and by then they are on the verge of calling it quits. If you need help, please do not wait any longer. I offer couples therapy for a variety of concerns, including for those who are struggling in the aftermath of trauma.
