People suffering from an ongoing pain condition due to injury or disease will often find that any underlying relationship issues are increased in intensity. But as the range of demands and different stressors everyone experiences continue to increase, it is no surprise that relationship difficulties are on the increase in most areas of life.
We believe that the average person has a limited range of conflict resolution skills at the time when they are more likely to experience a wider range of conflict situations at home and work. Conflict and relationship problems can develop even when there is good will and a commitment to resolving issues.
We have clinicians trained in resolving conflict and in helping people or groups increase their repertoire of understanding as to why and how conflict develops, how to respond in different situations, and how to prevent oneself developing unhelpful reactions.
