I Feel Trapped and I Can't Get Out!
When you work with women who have been, are in or are close to someone in an abusive relationship, the question of why it is so hard to leave inevitably comes up. I thought I would share with you a little bit of technical information that might help answer that question. The question is not an easy one to answer and to fully understand some of the considerations that go into these decisions you need to understand the... (posted by Kriss 1 year 257 days ago.)

Red Flags to Be Aware of As You Develop New Relationships
As we develop new relationships with people, it is necessary to understand that there are levels to those relationships and if we do not follow the natural and established progression of those relationships, we can find ourselves in trouble no matter whether it is just a friendship or whether we are courting a more intimate relationship. What do I mean by levels? The levels in a relationship... (posted by Kriss 1 year 259 days ago.)

The Cycle of Abuse/Domestic Violence
Although the cycle of abuse is more difficult to see when inside an abusive relationship , it is so common that volumes of books have been written about it and it is as predictable as the change of seasons. It will change in some respects due to the uniqueness of the people within the relationship, however the fundamental characteristics remain the same. In abusive relationships, men...

Is There A Connection Between Faith and Hope?
Hebrews 11:1 is a very familiar scripture to anyone who has studied about faith. Hebrews 11:1 (amplified) Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. We have heard it quoted many times, showing us that we need... (posted by Kriss 3 years 46 days ago.)

Why Can Relationship With Father God Be So Hard?
Often times, people will come into my office and tell me that they feel so guilty because their relationship with their Father God feels so distant. They say, "If I just had enough faith or just read the bible more I could feel the presence of the Father", "I love Jesus and He is everything to me, but I just feel so separated from the Father." They believe that their Father God is a part of their... (posted by Kriss 3 years 46 days ago.)

When We Experience Prolonged or Excessive Grief
For those of us in the counseling field, the facets of grief we see in our clients can take on many different faces. The loss of a pet, a spouse, a job or a dream leaves an empty space in a persons life that needs to be mourned as part of a closure process. The more we have invested; the more our hearts are connected to whatever it is that we have lost - can be a gauge which helps to explain how much grief... (posted by Kriss 3 years 49 days ago.)
