When a person has a mental disorder, it can be difficult for them to become involved in or maintain a healthy relationship. Many have a distrust of people in general. Others may start out in a healthy relationship, but a mental disorder may develop causing them to push away the people they love. Professional relationships can be destroyed as well and many end up losing their jobs due to mental issues.
Part of our healing therapy is to help our patients regain trust in others and remember how valuable it is to have other people around them that care. We start with individual therapy and counseling to help people recognize the cause of their disorder and how it is affecting those that are close to them. Then, we bring them into group therapy sessions where they can further explore their feelings with family members and others who are having similar experiences. Once our patients have the ability to bring people back into their lives, we know the healing has begun.
When dealing with relationship issues, we take the time to diagnose our patients and come up with a treatment plan that is suitable for them. This may be a combination of individual and group therapy, medication management, holistic treatments and more. We do what it takes to help those in close relationships improve their trust and communication. Contact us for an appointment.
