Tip – August 25

By Covenant Family Solutions

Listening can be hard to hear. It is not uncommon in romantic relationships or friendships to be planning out the next thing we want to say, while also listening to what our partner/friend is currently saying. Since it is easy to fall into this pattern, we risk the chance of only focusing on what we want to say and need. Try listening only to what your partner or friend says at least once a day to practice healthy listening skills. Soon you may find that you need to say less to connect more.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Whether it’s from a friend, family member, trusted colleague or a professional, people are out there to help.

Feeling Safe

I feel safe at CFS. I know the staff is professional and understanding and that my thoughts and feelings will be heard and are valid.

Building Strength

My treatment at CFS has helped me find the ability to continue on through a horrible time. The office staff always greets me with a smile, that’s great.

Embrace New Ideas

It’s great to have someone to talk through my thoughts and feelings with — to get things out into the universe and have a neutral party help me learn how to process, try new things, embrace different ideas.
