How Online Relationship Coaching Can Improve Your Marriage

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining healthy relationships can be a challenge. Whether you're dealing with communication issues, trust problems, or navigating significant life changes, seeking help from online relationship coaching can make a world of difference. These virtual sessions provide couples with the tools they need to rebuild and strengthen their relationship from the comfort of their home. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of online relationship coaching and how it can work hand-in-hand with marriage guidance counselling to help your relationship thrive.

What is Online Relationship Coaching?

• Virtual Support: Online relationship coaching allows couples to access professional relationship advice and strategies remotely. Coaches provide guidance on how to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and reignite the bond between partners.

• Tailored Solutions: A coach can offer personalized advice based on the unique challenges you face as a couple. Whether you're looking for advice on handling stress or rebuilding trust after a difficult situation, online coaching offers customized support.

• Flexible Scheduling: One of the main advantages of online relationship coaching is flexibility. You can schedule sessions around your busy lives, making it easier to get the help you need without disrupting your routine.

How Online Coaching Differs from Marriage Guidance Counselling

While marriage guidance counselling and online relationship coaching may seem similar, they have key differences:

• Counselling Focus: Marriage guidance counselling often focuses on resolving deeper, long-standing issues in a relationship. It is usually conducted by licensed therapists and is designed to help couples work through problems such as infidelity, long-term conflict, or other significant emotional issues.

• Coaching Focus: On the other hand, online relationship coaching is often future-focused and action-oriented. Rather than diving deep into past issues, coaching helps couples set goals, improve day-to-day interactions, and achieve stronger emotional and physical connections.

Benefits of Online Relationship Coaching

• Convenience: No need to commute to an office or rearrange your schedule. With online relationship coaching, you can log into a session from anywhere, whether you're at home, on vacation, or even at work.

• Personalized Attention: Coaches offer one-on-one guidance tailored to your specific relationship needs. They work closely with couples to understand their dynamics and provide actionable solutions for improvement.

• Immediate Feedback: Unlike traditional forms of therapy that may take time to yield results, online relationship coaching offers quick, practical advice that couples can start applying right away. This proactive approach helps couples make immediate changes that benefit their relationship.

The Importance of Marriage Guidance Counselling

• Deep Healing: While online relationship coaching is great for quick, practical solutions, marriage guidance counselling is essential for couples dealing with more serious issues. Whether it’s emotional trauma, infidelity, or unresolved conflict, counselling offers a safe space for deep healing.

• Long-Term Solutions: Counselling aims to get to the root of long-standing problems. Therapists work with couples to address underlying emotional patterns that affect their relationship, offering long-term solutions to restore love and trust.

Can Online Coaching and Marriage Guidance Counselling Work Together?

Absolutely! In fact, combining online relationship coaching with marriage guidance counselling offers the best of both worlds. While counselling can help resolve deeper issues, coaching can provide the day-to-day tools needed to keep your relationship strong. Here’s how:

• Counselling as the Foundation: Start with marriage guidance counselling to work through complex problems or emotional challenges. Once those issues are addressed, online coaching can help reinforce positive habits and maintain a strong relationship moving forward.

• Ongoing Support: Even after resolving major conflicts through counselling, couples can benefit from regular online relationship coaching sessions to stay on track and continue to grow as a couple.

Conclusion

In the ever-changing landscape of modern relationships, couples need access to flexible, effective resources. Online relationship coaching offers personalized, convenient, and immediate solutions to help you overcome challenges and build a lasting partnership. When combined with marriage guidance counselling, couples can address both surface-level and deep-rooted issues, ensuring a healthier and happier future together.

I had a severe mast cell reaction to something last night for the first time in the longest time* and I can honestly say, hand on heart, I have no idea how I lived like that 24/7 for years.

I have no idea how I dealt with that nightly as a child, only to be yelled at and told to stop attention seeking, while last night my partner held me while I shook and prepared to stick me with an epi pen.

Thankfully he didn’t have to. Thankfully my airways cleared after my body purged itself of everything I’d eaten yesterday** and my heart rate began to climb down. But Jesus Christ, I am wrecked this morning.

* no idea why, only thing I can think of is hormones + sugar which can sometimes raise histamine levels

** everyone thinks anaphylactic reactions start with visible swelling and airway constriction, but for me it’s always been the much slower reaction of severe gastric symptoms which progresses to rapid elevated heartbeat, followed by agonizing acid reflux that burns through my whole chest and then if it doesn’t stop, my airways start to close while I simultaneously start to “fall asleep” (that’s the shock.)

Very rarely do I get visible swelling or hives unless whatever triggered the reaction was from skin contact or injected into my veins. So, just so you know, anaphylaxis doesn’t always look the way it does in the movies. I tell you this only in case it saves a life one day.

I want to tell you more about me and why this campaign has taken a toll on my mental and physical health. I'm sure you understand me if you also suffer from social anxiety. I am living through introvert hell and I just want it to stop.

My exhaustion can't be described with words. Every day I wish I had died when this all started. Everything exhausts me. Please help, please. I'm constantly annoyed with my family because we've been packed in the same room for months while we're all on edge, but they're still my family. I can't let them die. I can't let my younger siblings and my grandmother down.

My campaign is now vetted! So please don't hesitate to help me anymore.

Please forgive me for tagging all of you again, but it seems that this is the only way I can be heard... @timetravellingkitty @deathlonging @briarhips @mahoushojoe @sar-soor @rhubarbspring @schoolhater98 @pcktknife @sawasawako @appsa @anneemay @commissions4aid-international @wellwaterhysteria @mangocheesecakes @kyra45-helping-others @7bittersweet @tortiefrancis @ot3 @amygdalae @ankle-beez @communistchameleon @dykesbat @komsomolka @neptunerings @riding-with-the-wild-hunt @heritageposts @watermotif @stuckinapril @mavigator @lacecap @determinate-negation @deepspaceboytoy @paper-mario-wiki @kibumkim @neechees @socalgal @chilewithcarnage @ghelgheli @sapphic-dino @rooh-afza @shesnake

Finding Peace in the Chaos: How to Deal With Panic Attacks While They’re Happening

If you’ve never experienced one before, having a panic attack can be one of the scariest things that ever happens to you.

The trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, and heart palpitations they induce can make you feel like you’re having a heart attack, or worse.

Sadly, it’s not uncommon for people to show up at the emergency room with these symptoms, only to find out that they were triggered by nothing more than anxiety.

But finding out that you’re not on death’s door won’t necessarily make it any easier to deal with a panic attack, and they can be just as debilitating to deal with, even when you know your life isn’t in danger.

That being said, if you’ve managed to find this article, you’re probably wondering how to deal with panic attacks, especially when they’re happening.

And if it’s any consolation, I’ve been dealing with anxiety for many years, and I’ve even experienced panic attacks myself, so I know exactly what you’re going through.

My name is Paige Hollingsworth. I’m a registered clinical counsellor specializing in online anxiety counselling, and I wanted to contribute to our blog here at TalkOnline Counselling by writing an article that aims to help people who are suffering from panic attacks.

So, if you’re dealing with panic attacks, and want to learn more about them, including how to deal with panic attacks while they’re happening, then you should definitely keep reading.

Because in this article, I’m going to explain what panic attacks are and how they work so you can understand them and be better equipped to deal with them, explore how I treat clients suffering from this affliction so you can have a better idea of what’s involved with anxiety counselling, and offer some advice on how to deal with panic attacks, so you’ll know what to do the next time you’re having one.

What Is a Panic Attack?

If you’ve managed to find this article, you’re probably well aware of what a panic attack is.

But before I go any further, I wanted to answer this question, because having a better understanding of something can make it a lot less scary, and much easier to deal with, as a result.

With that in mind, a panic attack, otherwise known as an anxiety attack, is a sudden and intense episode of overwhelming fear or discomfort, characterized by a rapid and severe escalation of physical and psychological symptoms, which often arise without warning.

Scientists have been studying panic attacks for many years, and while they can be triggered by various factors, such as stress, trauma, certain phobias, or underlying anxiety disorders, the jury’s still out on what it is that causes them.

But to me, a panic attack is basically when we misread our body’s cues.

You see, typically, as a result of being afraid of something, the heart starts to race, or we feel a shortness of breath, and then that gets misinterpreted as a heart attack, or suffocation, which then further feeds the fear that started the whole process.

This creates a feedback loop that can then turn into a full-blown fight or flight response, as you’ve convinced yourself that you’re in mortal danger, and the body starts acting accordingly by flooding your bloodstream with adrenaline and cortisol, which can then cause your heart to continue racing, and trigger a host of other potential symptoms, including:

Sweating

Chills or hot flashes

Trembling or shaking

Chest pain or discomfort

Feeling lightheaded or dizzy

Nausea or abdominal distress

Numbness or tingling sensations

Fear of dying, losing control, or going crazy

Feeling detached from oneself or reality (depersonalization or derealization)

As I’ve learned firsthand over the years, panic attacks can be extremely distressing, but it’s important to remember that they’re not inherently dangerous, and while they can be incredibly frightening, they certainly can’t kill you.

In any case, now that you know a bit more about panic attacks, and what causes them, you can put everything in perspective, and avoid thinking you’re in grave danger when they’re happening, which should help to minimize their effects and make them a bit easier to deal with.

How I Treat Clients Who Are Suffering from Panic Attacks

When treating clients who are trying to learn how to deal with panic attacks, there are a couple of different methods I like to employ.

First and foremost, I prefer to rely on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.

The IFS model views the mind as consisting of different “parts” or subpersonalities, each with its own unique emotions, beliefs, and perspectives, and its goal is to identify and understand these parts and establish a harmonious relationship among them to promote healing and self-awareness.

As it relates to panic attacks, IFS allows me to help clients identify the parts of them that tend to trigger panic attacks, and separate themselves from these parts, at least enough to avoid feeling consumed by the panic they’re causing, while building a more harmonious relationship with their various parts, learning to release the panic-related burdens that these parts carry, and developing coping strategies that allow them to better deal with their panic attacks, and whatever is causing them.

To be fair, this approach requires quite a bit of introspection, which can be very challenging, and even scary for some people, depending on what they’ve dealt with in their life, and how comfortable they are with digging this deep into their psyche.

That being said, I find that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) also tends to work quite well, especially for those who aren’t comfortable with the IFS approach.

CBT focuses on helping individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours using a goal-oriented and practical approach that aims to improve mental health and overall well-being by addressing specific issues and challenges.

When it comes to anxiety attacks, CBT allows me to help clients replace negative thought patterns and break the cycles of maladaptive behaviours that can trigger anxiety attacks, while developing coping strategies and practical skills to accomplish these goals.

Depending on the nature of the client and their situation, I will also make use of other modalities, as well, if need be, but I tend to rely on IFS and CBT when helping people with panic attacks, as these methods can be very effective for helping clients get to the bottom of what’s triggering their anxiety attacks, and develop skills for how to deal with panic attacks in a way that works for them.

How to Deal with Panic Attacks and Keep Calm While They’re Happening

Anxiety attacks can be incredibly overwhelming, but there are many ways to cope with them, even if you’re still not comfortable with seeing a counsellor.

With that in mind, I wanted to share a strategy that can help you learn how to deal with panic attacks while they’re happening.

By practising these steps whenever you’re having an anxiety attack, you can become much better at managing them in the moment.

For this strategy, we’re going to remember the word calm, because each letter in that word represents something you can do to help regain control during an anxiety attack.

C stands for calm your breathing.

This means you need to take slow, deep breaths in through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth, focusing on the sensation of your breath, and allowing it to relax your body.

A stands for acknowledging your thoughts.

It’s important to remember that the thoughts racing through your mind are a natural part of a panic attack, so try not to fight them or judge yourself. Instead, acknowledge their presence and remind yourself that they will pass.

L stands for locate your senses.

To help ground yourself in the present moment, and deal with the sensations you’re feeling, stop for a minute and try to focus on your senses. Concentrate on something you can see, hear, smell, or taste that’s outside of the anxiety you’re experiencing, as this should help to distract you from that overwhelming feeling of panic.

M stands for manage your self-talk.

During a panic attack, it’s common to have unhelpful thoughts that fuel your anxiety, so you should remind yourself that you’re safe, the panic attack will pass, and you’ve coped with these feelings before.

I know anxiety attacks can be terrifying, but now that you have a better understanding of what they are, and how they work, you can dispel some of the fear associated with them, and put things in perspective, which I hope will make your panic attacks much easier to endure.

And now that you know what anxiety counselling entails, and what you can do to mitigate a panic attack’s impact while it’s happening, I hope you’ll feel more comfortable with the idea of reaching out for help, and more confident in your own ability to deal with anxiety attacks.
