Research shows that 34% of employees quit jobs due to mental health related reasons. 84% employees have reported that they experience symptoms of poor mental health of which 60% have never spoken about it to anyone at work. The uncertainties and chaos resulting from the pandemic has also compounded immense amount of stress and psychological vulnerabilities to people and organisations/businesses. It is evident in the consequential change in efficacy and productivity in work performance as well as mental wellbeing of employees. The importance of addressing mental health especially with regard to work related concerns is therefore critical.
Marital Counselling
While Bright Ray encourages the need for Pre-marital Counselling, we fully understand that not all couples have the luxury of doing so before the wedding. It may only be after the wedding that you realise there are conflicts, incompatibility issues and other problems with your partner. But this doesn’t have to mean the end of a happy relationship, or even that the relationship as a whole is wrong/bad and needs to end. This is where Marital Counselling comes in.
Many things can cause issues within couples/marriages such as:
Emotional Immaturity / Behavioural problems
Inadequate anger management, manipulative behaviours, emotional outbursts etc. Mental Health Issues: Anxiety issues, depression etc.
Expression of affection / sex disconnect
How one person wants to be loved is different to another. How this is expressed may also differ. If a partner doesn’t understand or neglects to use the methods that you prefer then there may be a disconnect and may feel as though you are being neglected.
Past Experiences and/or Trauma
If previous unpleasant/abusive relationships remain unresolved/not addressed, then they can affect new relationships. There may be comparisons of the new partner to the old one, expectations or fears that will strain the new relationship. This is also true for unrecognised trauma of previous experiences.
Conflict mismanagement
not dealing with conflicts/difference of opinion with respect to the partner but rather belittling or demeaning them. Trivial issues exploding into big conflicts.
Cheating/Infidelity
While infidelity is a serious breach of trust, it is always worth addressing what the core issues are, and whether the relationship is salvageable. It is also necessary to recognise what each partner is willing to own up to and what is the best course of action for both of you moving forward.
