Positive Relationships

Positive relationships are the cornerstone of psychological well-being and happiness. In the same way that a well-tended garden produces beautiful flowers, a well-nurtured relationship can bring joy, contentment, and fulfillment to both partners. According to research by Seligman (2018), individuals who are in positive relationships are less likely to experience depression and anxiety, and more likely to report higher levels of life satisfaction and overall happiness.

To cultivate a healthy relationship, effective communication is key. Communication is like the soil in which a plant grows. Without it, a relationship can wither and die. Positive communication promotes understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. According to Johnson (2019), successful couples use positive communication techniques, such as active listening and non-judgmental validation, to strengthen their relationship.

Tips for building healthy relationships include spending quality time together, expressing gratitude, and resolving conflicts respectfully. Emotional intimacy and strong connections are also essential for maintaining positive relationships.

At True North Wellness, we provide counseling services to individuals and couples seeking to build healthy, positive relationships. Our services include therapy for communication and conflict resolution, as well as individual counseling to address mental health issues.

The supremacy of the Feminine Imperative is threatened by true emancipation from it. Consequently, Men with the vision to see past this are labeled Dark, Sociopathic and Deviant by the imperative. The imperative had to classify Game for itself - Evil vs. Good Game. Of course, the good is defined by whatever benefits the imperative, while the evil is defined by whatever benefits the masculine ‘selfishly.' Ref: The Rational Male

Resilience: How to Identify Stressors and Develop Healthy Coping Mechanisms

As humans, we are resilient creatures, capable of bouncing back from the toughest of situations. Resilience can be compared to a rubber band that can stretch and return to its original form, no matter how much it is pulled. But what happens when the rubber band is pulled too far? Stressors in life can be compared to the force that stretches the rubber band, and if we don't identify and cope with them in a healthy manner, we risk snapping. To build resilience, it is crucial to identify our stressors, which can be likened to the weeds in a garden. Just as weeds can hinder the growth of a garden, stressors can hinder our personal growth. By identifying these stressors, we can work towards removing them and creating a healthier environment for growth. But simply removing stressors is not enough.
