Healthier Communication in Relationships, Asheville NC Mindfulness Counseling
I work with several clients who are in or are seeking a relationship. It is a common experience to struggle with your loved ones. One of my clinical interests as a counselor is understanding how and why the people we love can elicit the strongest emotions.
This newsletter will focus on using mindfulness in relationship with others. The hope is that we can turn to the present moment when experiencing escalated emotions and afford ourselves the opportunity to pause, breathe, and choose a response rather than a reaction.
