Couples
Counseling
Relationships are important to all of us and add fulfillment
and exhilaration to life. Sometimes, however, relationships
go through difficult times, bringing stress, sadness, and challenge.
All relationships go through cycles and changes as they grow
and develop over time. Couples may need support as they navigate
the developmental challenges that are a natural part of a growing
relationship. For example, when a spouse goes back to school
after working or being at home for a time, this may upset the
balance or "rock the boat" in the relationship. The
couple might come to the Counseling Center for help in deciding
how to renegotiate responsibilities and roles.
In addition, couples may also seek guidance with issues such
as communication problems, conflict resolution, parenting problems,
and dealing with infidelity. Staff members at the Southern Miss
Counseling Center are available to help couples assess their
relationship strengths and establish goals for the future while
addressing present difficulties. Counselors meet regularly with
couples to discuss important aspects of the relationship and
to help plan for healthful changes. |
