Conflict is inevitable, but disconnection doesn’t have to be.

It’s not the disagreement that does the damage. It’s usually how it’s handled. Reacting is automatic. Responding is intentional. And it’s a skill you can learn.

Individual or couples counseling can help you slow down, communicate clearly, and handle conflict in healthier ways.

Ready to respond instead of react? Reach out to get started at 678-688-3133.

Conflict doesn’t destroy relationships. Patterns do.

Over time, certain communication habits can quietly erode trust, safety, and connection. The good news? What’s learned can be unlearned.

Awareness is the first step. Growth is the next.

Whether individually or as a couple, counseling can help you identify unhealthy dynamics, understand what’s driving them, and build new patterns that strengthen your relationship.

Ready to do the work? Reach out today at 678-688-3133 to get started.

Panic Attack vs. Heart Attack

The symptoms can feel terrifyingly similar. Chest pain. Shortness of breath. Sweating. Nausea. A sense of impending doom.

So how do you know?

🔹 Panic attacks are usually triggered by emotional stress and may include sharp chest pain, racing heart, trembling, or tingling. The symptoms typically peak and then fade within minutes.

🔹 Heart attacks often involve pressure or squeezing chest pain, pain that may travel to the jaw or arm, and symptoms that don’t fully go away. They’re more likely triggered by physical exertion.

Here’s the most important part:

👉 If it’s new.
👉 If it feels different.
👉 If you’re unsure.

Seek medical care. Never ignore new heart-related symptoms.

Anxiety is real.
Heart health is real.
Your safety matters.

*Note: This is not medical advice. Always consult with a doctor.

May you feel loved today and always!

Love isn’t just something you feel. It’s something you do.

Scripture reminds us that love is patient, kind, not self-seeking, and enduring (1 Corinthians 13). Those aren’t emotions. They’re daily choices.

In marriage, in dating, in friendships, real love shows up in how we speak, how we forgive, how we serve, and how we stay committed when feelings fluctuate.

Feelings may spark a relationship. But choices sustain it.

If you’re engaged (or seriously dating), pre-marital counseling is an investment in your relationship now that can make all the difference later.

At Touch of Healing, we offer premarital counseling using Prepare & Enrich, a research-based assessment that helps couples:
• Strengthen communication
• Explore expectations around roles, finances, and family
• Identify strengths and growth areas
• Develop healthy conflict resolution skills
• Deepen emotional connection

It’s not about finding problems. It’s about building a strong foundation before you say “I do.”

We all give and receive love differently. The 5 Love Languages help explain how you feel most valued by others. When partners speak different love languages, love can get lost in translation. Counseling can help couples learn how to recognize, communicate, and honor each other’s needs. How do you feel most loved?

Attachment styles describe the way we learned to connect, feel safe, and seek closeness in relationships, often shaped by our earliest experiences with caregivers.

They influence how we communicate, handle conflict, give and receive love, and respond when we feel disconnected. Discover your attachment style at: www.attachmentproject.com

Healthy love isn’t perfect, it’s intentional. In counseling, we often explore what safe and secure love actually looks and feels like.
