In marriage counseling understanding stress management is the key to a successful relationship counseling session. The latest research has established a direct correlation between stress and negative interpersonal behavior, leading to relationship disputes. This is because stress leads to anger and hostility, which ultimately manifests itself in the kind of interaction that results in conflict. Marriage counseling sessions are therefore structured to promote a nurturing environment to minimise stress. To do this, listening skill in marriage counseling is practiced as it is considered to be the pinnacle of any stress management technique. Listening skill promotes an
open communication process and self-analysis, which if facilitated by an experienced marriage counselor then it could ultimately lead to the promotion of self-restraint and inner peace. The cause of stress in human beings is associated with what psychologists refer to as the Fight-or-Flight mechanism. It is a normal reaction to a perceived physical or psychological threat, where by a situation of a perceived threat causes the nervous system to react by producing hormones that induce tension in the larger muscles to prepare for a physical response. However, in today's lifestyle the perceived threats are more likely to be of the psychological nature rather than physical, which means the
Fight or Flight mechanism will actually not be pursued by a physical response, and as such the tension in the muscles become self-destructive. An exposure to a prolonged stress can eventually lead to Nervous Breakdown. It is also for this reason that people who are physically active are less likely to suffer from a
Nervous Breakdown.
Stress management in marriage counseling
In marriage counseling sessions the management of stress is dealt with through a process that involves honesty and self-analysis. It is important to recognise that Nervous Breakdown is a gradual affliction, and, tends to creep up on people, and as such recognising the existence of stress is the first step to its prevention. Once its existence is recognised, the subsequent step is determining the trigger. The trigger is the action or the thought that resulted in a perceived feeling of threat. The most common triggers are lifestyle, relationship, family, work and finances. Recognising these potential triggers helps a person to identify the
exact cause of the affliction. To do this, it is therefore important to ponder the question "what am I feeling about this situation that's making me so tense". Once the why is established and recognised, it then becomes necessary to exercise the power of positive thinking to counteract any negative feelings. This can be done through associating a positive experience with the affliction that led to the feeling of stress. It is for this reason that people who exhibit Delusional Behavior tend to rarely suffer from nervous breakdowns. In cases where it is not possible to find any associated positive experience, it then becomes important to acknowledge the Acceptance Of The Inevitable. People who believe everything, good or bad, happens for a reason tend to be less likely to suffer from a Nervous Breakdown. This reinforces the fact that stress is an affliction borne from perception. It is not always possible to prevent stressful events from occurring, but it is possible to manage one's own
perception of these events.
