One of the main reasons for marriage/relationship disruptions is the wife feeling that her emotional needs are not being met. That includes not feeling appreciated. This is a very common issue we see in marriage/relationship therapy. Men struggle with knowing how to meet those needs and struggle with following through with actions. Women feel frustrsted and alone with having voiced their needs and no changes being made. Positive changes in relationships need to be lifestyle changes, not changes until things get better then stop. Both people in the relationship committing to meeting each other needs, helps relationships grow and flourish. Check in with each other to see what changes can be made to build lasting connection and emotional intimacy.

It’s a hard road to become a certified therapy dog. She will to go through months of training and will need to pass a vigerous test in the end to earn her credential. This is different from a Service Dog. She will not have the rights a Service Dog has, but she will be trained in how to work and help people of all ages.

Placing something cold under your arms can trigger the body’s natural calming response by stimulating the vagus nerve. This nerve helps regulate heart rate and stress signals. The sudden cool sensation can quickly slow the heartbeat, ease tension, and create a sense of relief. While it’s not a cure for anxiety, this simple technique can provide fast, noticeable comfort during stressful moments by helping the body shift into a more relaxed state almost instantly.
