People all over the country are faced with challenges. The recession has sent thousands of people to professionals seeking help. Some have gone to divorce lawyers, some have gone to loan officers, and some have gone to counselors. From Washington to Seattle the social fabric has been ripped, torn and sewn loosely back together, leaving many people with a sharp sting. In every state people are dealing with new challenges. In every town people are looking for answers to the issues raised and brought to the surface by these challenges. Baltimore therapists are seeing an up tic. Portland psychiatrists are booked solid. Scottsdale marriage counseling is on the rise. Scottsdale counseling like helping industries across the nation are in demand.

Simple fact: this country functions on a fiscal economy. When everyone has money in their pockets, relationships have less stress. Problems that exist in a relationship are easier to overlook or ignore when the primary needs are met. A ship on the water can have a lot of problems, but if it isn’t sinking, it can still be smooth sailing. A sinking boat is going to result in either the crew uniting to bail out the boat and fix the problems, or someone screaming everyman for themselves, and heading for the life rafts to abandon ship.

When families are faced with challenges many of the issues that were tolerable become impossible to ignore. The economic downturn has plunged a lot of families into turmoil. As people lose jobs, houses, and dreams, they have to decide what is truly important and worth fighting for.

The first and major issue is to determine what is worth fighting for. Many people, when faced with a disruptive life challenge like losing a job, take the fight into the wrong arena. Often people are unsettled and upset by change. The feelings are so discomforting that they are cast on others. How often do people curse another driver because the boss made them work late, or the wife was upset about the trout stuffed in the freezer? Someone driving home after crawling out of bed with the new and perfect lover could be cut off by sixteen cars and three mac trucks and still be smiling all the way to work.. Most of what we consider problems are perceptional. When that is understood then the real problems can be addressed. With clear insight the issues and problems will become clear and workable.

Getting clear about what the important issues are is a bit like finding the leaks in the boat. Some marriages confronting crisis pretend the boat is not taking on water. Some people abandon ship because someone spilled a glass of water on the deck. Some realize the ship isn’t what they care about and turn to take care of the family they love. Difficulties can bring on clarity or panic for many people. Getting professional help can often lead to a better life.
