According to the American Psychological Association (APA):

Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure.

People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry. They may also have physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, dizziness, or a rapid heartbeat.

According to the National Health Service (NHS):

Sometimes it’s easier to talk to a stranger than to relatives or friends.

During talking therapy, a trained counselor or therapist listens to you and helps you find your own answers to problems, without judging you.

The therapist will give you time to talk, cry, shout, or just think. It’s an opportunity to look at your problems in a different way with someone who’ll respect you and your opinions.

According to Psychology Today,

Peace and harmony may be the goal for most families, but dysfunction is common and insidious and arrives in many forms. Family quarrels and grudges and estrangement can have lasting effects, sometimes following members into old age. When one family member contends with a problem such as alcoholism, the entire household is impacted. In a dysfunctional home, there is normally no sense of unity or empathy, or boundaries, and members can be highly critical of one another.

Our jobs are often more than just the way we make a living. They influence how we see ourselves, as well as the way others see us. Even if you didn’t love your job, it likely provided you a social outlet and gave a structure, purpose, and meaning to your life. Suddenly finding yourself out of work can leave you feeling hurt, angry, or depressed. You might be questioning your identity, grieving all that you’ve lost, or feeling anxious about what the future holds.

In talk therapy, a therapist may help someone explore their gender or sexual orientation. They may also address emotional barriers in relationships. Doing so can enhance sexual experiences. Therapy for issues related to sexuality may help with:

• Desire and arousal
• Gender dysphoria
• Performance
• Sexual trauma/abuse
• Sex addiction
• Painful sex
• Transitioning
• LGBTQIA identity
• Porn addiction
• Conflict or confusion over sexual orientation

Caregiver burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. As days, weeks, and months (in some cases years) march on with mounting responsibilities, caregivers become overwhelmed physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Julie Canterbury, founder of MCS Counseling said: “Every day in a caregiving role, we empty out in order to be present to those in our care. If we continue to empty out without filling up again, we place ourselves in harm’s way.”

So when it comes to this stress disorder, what should caregivers and their extended family be on the lookout for? The key indicator of compassion fatigue is sleep disruption. Caregivers with compassion fatigue often do not have the energy to deal with the issues that can materialize when caring for a loved one with a terminal illness. As a result, both the patient and caregiver suffer.

According to Psychology Today,

Infidelity is the breaking of a promise to remain faithful to a romantic partner, whether that promise was a part of marriage vows, a privately uttered agreement between lovers, or an unspoken assumption. As unthinkable as the notion of breaking such promises may be at the time they are made, infidelity is common, and when it happens, it raises thorny questions: Should you stay? Can trust be rebuilt? Or is there no choice but to pack up and move on?
