Conflict is normal in most relationships since we can’t always agree, no matter how well we get along. Sometimes we must challenge each other and change or learn from our mistakes, seeing other people’s points of view. When conflict becomes a constant in our relationships, arguments turn to anger, and there is no sense of resolution, it may be time to step back and analyse things from a different perspective.

Having an honest conversation about the other person and their actions is an excellent place to start. Unresolved tensions or resentment may drive the frequent conflict that wasn’t addressed. You can also benefit from support, so consider using hypnotherapy to give you a hand.

Hypnotherapy for Relationship Conflict

If you ever felt like you’ve had the same argument repeatedly, you likely already know the feeling. Sometimes, when we argue with people, we tend to repeat patterns. These patterns can come from the subconscious mind, sometimes that may have been experienced in our earlier life and something we are fighting with on the inside.

Hypnotherapy can give you a hand in getting to the root of the problem and the conflict itself. It can help you identify any behavioural patterns lurking in your subconscious mind that keep feeding the competition. If there are any, the hypnotherapist will suggest new ways of thinking and overcoming them. This is done when you are in a state of hypnosis, a deep relaxation, allowing your subconscious mind to be more open to positive suggestions. Hypnotherapy may also give you a hand in coping with conflict and managing the painful emotions in difficult relationships. You can build confidence and ask what you need, which is very important in all relationships. You can help your communication skills via hypnotherapy as well.

Dealing With Toxic Relationships

A toxic relationship has a negative impact on your psyche and health. This could be a friend who makes you feel bad, or you could be in an abusive relationship instead. Leaving these types of relationships always comes with many challenges; we find ourselves manipulated or suffering in self-esteem. We need to do more to walk away than we usually would.

After you leave a relationship like that, it may be a while before you feel normal again. You may find it challenging to rebuild your ability to trust or your confidence due to the trauma you experienced. Talking to a therapist or undergoing hypnotherapy can give you the help you need to repair the damage.

Hypnotherapy for Toxic Relationships

If you need help rebuilding your self-esteem, hypnotherapy can be there for you. Unhelpful and damaging patterns and behavioural elements can be addressed, letting you move on and reconnect with yourself and your individual needs. You can rediscover your inner strength and the ability to cope with the leftover emotional impact of the relationship. Through the help of hypnotherapy, you can encourage yourself to keep your head up high again. Since it’s often used to treat anxiety, hypnotherapy can help you find your inner safe place, allowing you to relieve the pain and manage the difficult memories yourself.

Moving on After a Break-Up

Break-ups can be a painful thing to experience, as most of us know. Whether the reason for your parting was mutual or not, the pain holds for quite a while once the relationship is over. For some, time and the support of close friends and family can help move on to the next chapter of life, but for others, that may not be the case. You can turn to hypnotherapy once more for a helping hand.

Nowadays, intimate relationships do not last very long. And the reason is that such relationships require the two people to find shared ground, commit to each other and overcome challenges.

Below are some of the major challenges and problems that modern relationships face and how to solve them.

Communication
If two intimate partners can master communication, they will face fewer problems together. After all, honest and effective communication is the basis for relationship success. But many couples stop communicating the way they used to or experience more confrontation than usual. To improve that, couples need to figure out where their communication is breaking down. Couples must understand that the other person is not reading minds and that honesty is the only way forward. Communication is a two-way street that requires effort from both parties involved.

Having arguments
Self-expression often means having relevant debates with your partner. Successful couples know how to argue by following simple rules, such as never using profanity, name-calling, taking time to respond and always staying on point. However, if they grow into spiteful arguments, they serve no good purpose. Partners should make time to discuss issues before they develop into greater challenges. They must express concerns peacefully and maintain respect. A couples therapist can help with that.

Staying close is a challenge
Over time, relationships change. Things that seemed important before may not phase one partner or the other anymore. After all, relationship dynamics are not the only thing changing; both partners are also involved in change. All of this doesn’t mean the relationship will fail, but there is a need for both parties to make some effort.

Intimacy and sex
A lot of the problems in a relationship stem from sex. Partners need to be honest about what they want and encourage others to do the same. Partners should respect each other’s needs and desires. Making some changes will likely make both of them equally happy. If there is a need, a sex therapist can greatly improve this relationship aspect.

Infidelity
Affairs in a relationship do not happen spontaneously, and they take different forms, like emotional cheating. For a relationship to survive after one partner has had an affair, both must be fully honest about what happened and work to resolve any issues. Cheating can break the trust between partners, which takes a lot of effort to fix.

Money issues

Couples may argue over finances, especially during harder times. A couple faces quite an uncertain future if these problems still need to be resolved. Establishing who is responsible for what in the relationship regarding money is a good idea. Couples should work on their budgeting skills together to avoid problems.

Chores
Responsibilities at home may seem like a trivial issue to resolve, but in reality, many couples encounter large obstacles in that department. They feel resentful over who is dealing with what and become frustrated. To stay on top of that, the couple should keep all lines of communication open. Partners should let the other know they need help and discuss how best to accomplish tasks.

All these challenges are, without a doubt, big issues that couples can run into. It is most important to consider not the hardships but the good things that come out of a relationship and to strive to strengthen them.

Fewer people die from heart disease than in the past, thanks to increased awareness of healthy eating and advances in treatment. Nonetheless, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States as of January 2022.

Although heart attack symptoms are often the first signs of trouble, the body can also provide more subtle cues that something is wrong. Here is a list of symptoms to consider discussing with your healthcare provider.

1. You’re extremely exhausted

A lot of women dismiss this, assuming it's nothing and that they'll feel better later, but it could be a sign of your heart. The reason you feel that way is due to a lack of oxygen. The heart is working hard to deliver oxygen to your body.

Having said that, many people are tired for a variety of reasons. If this is your only symptom, consult your doctor, but don't assume you have heart disease based on this alone.

2. You have swollen feet 

Foot swelling can occur for a variety of reasons, including pregnancy, varicose veins, or a lack of movement. Swelling may also indicate heart failure, a chronic condition in which the heart pumps blood inefficiently.

Swelling can also occur when a heart valve fails to close properly. Some blood pressure and diabetes medications may also cause swelling. Other symptoms associated with heart-related foot swelling include shortness of breath and/or fatigue.

3. You experience extreme pain when walking 

Don't dismiss if your hip and leg muscles cramp when you climb, walk, or move but feel better when you rest. The pain could be caused by aging or a lack of exercise, or it could be a sign of peripheral arterial disease or PAD. PAD is a fatty plaque buildup in the arteries of the legs that has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.

4. You get dizzy or lightheaded

If you've ever been to a gym, you've probably noticed signs instructing you to stop walking, running, cycling, or stepping if you feel dizzy or lightheaded. Dizziness is one of the symptoms that can have many reasons including heart issues.

Lightheadedness may be caused by artery blockages that reduce blood pressure or by faulty valves that cannot maintain it.

5. You experience shortness of breath 

Fluid accumulation on the left side of the heart can cause wheezing that mimics bronchial asthma. Once the valve is repaired, fluid no longer accumulates in the lungs, allowing the patient to breathe more easily.

6. You’re depressed 

Depression is most likely not a sign of heart disease. However, mental health is linked to physical health. According to research, people who are depressed are more likely to have heart problems.

7. You experience migraines 

A headache is sometimes just a headache. However, regular migraines indicate that something is wrong with your heart. There is a link between cardiovascular events and migraine, particularly migraines with aura.

8. You can hear your heartbeat when you fall asleep at night 

Some patients with a loud faulty valve can hear the sound of their valve while trying to sleep at night. While some patients adjust to the sound and often simply change their sleeping positions to avoid it, this does not mean you should disregard it. A racing heart can also be caused by low blood pressure, low blood sugar, anemia, medication, dehydration, and other factors.

9. You experience anxiety, sweating, and nausea 

Some patients with a loud faulty valve can hear the sound of their valve while trying to sleep at night. While some patients adjust to the sound and often simply change their sleeping positions to avoid it, this does not mean you should disregard it. A racing heart can also be caused by low blood pressure, low blood sugar, anemia, medication, dehydration, and other factors.

The BIRD WITCH - The Mattie Saunders Series Book 4

August 31 to Sept. 7th

at https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003DS6LEU

Can you love someone whose worldview is different from yours? Who is committed to a cause that excludes you because of your race? Simon is an Indigenous person dedicated to the struggle for justice for First Nations people. Mattie loves him but is love enough?

Birds are dying. At the Saunders Bird Rescue and Sanctuary where rescued parrots abandoned by their owners are rehabilitated and re-homed, a deadly virus has them dying in Mattie's hands. In the midst of this outbreak, she's called to investigate a mortality event where dozens of starlings fly into the pavement as if committing suicide.

Mattie looks to Simon, her rock and refuge, for support, but after spending weeks at a remote protest site, as soon as he returns home he begins working with Wendy Walters, the attractive, ambitious Indigenous politician on her re-election campaign. Mattie's just about had enough.

When Simon proposes a vacation on the Mexican Riviera, Mattie sees it as an opportunity to recover from the death of her beloved birds. She's also hopeful it's an indication Simon's reconsidering his priorities. She didn't realize while on vacation he'd want to attend the Conference of Indigenous Peoples in Chiapas. Mattie's annoyed but decides to indulge her passion and do some tropical bird watching rather than attend a boring conference.

But Simon's conference turns out to be anything but boring when a deadly firefight erupts between the Mexican Army trying to arrest suspected terrorists and revolutionary Zapatista's.

Now Simon is missing, and Mattie is determined to find him, but to do so she must first escape being kidnapped by corrupt Mexican police and avoid abduction by vicious cartel members.

The fourth book in The Mattie Saunders Series, The Bird Witch combines romance and action with environmental themes for an exciting exploration of contemporary culture and issues.
