Personality Disorders
More than ten percent of the population in the United States alone is expected to suffer from some form of personality disorder. Some of the most commonly overlooked or misdiagnosed personality disorders include borderline personality disorder, characterized by instability and impulsivity; antisocial personality disorder, recognized by a disregard for others; histrionic personality disorder, marked by excessive emotionality; narcissistic personality disorder, characterized by grandiosity and a lack of empathy; avoidant personality disorder, recognized by social inhibition; and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, marked by an obsession with orderliness and control. Undiagnosed personality disorders may take a significant toll on otherwise healthy relationships. A Little Peace of Hafen treats all types of personality disorders in all age groups, including couples.
Suicidal Ideation
Suicidal ideation often comes as a result of another underlying personality, depressive, or anxiety disorder. Suicidal thoughts or indications thereof should not be taken lightly, so if you suspect that someone in your life may be experiencing them, don’t hesitate to reach out. Suicidal ideation among couples may lead to unnecessary relationship turmoil. A Little Peace of Hafen specializes in coping mechanisms and mental illness recovery and can help you or your loved one feel like themselves again.
Gender Identity
Coming to terms with your gender identity can be daunting, especially without friends and family to support you through it. A Little Peace of Hafen provides gender and sexuality identity counseling for all ages, a few of which include bisexuality, heterosexuality, homosexuality, demisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, non-binary identification, transgender identification, pangender identification, and gender fluidity. Gender identity issues in the household can have a significant impact on couples. So if you, your spouse, or your child is struggling to understand or be at peace with the process you are going through, A Little Peace of Hafen can help.
Codependency
Codependent relationships, characterized by circular, unhealthy habits, often disguise themselves as committed relationships. A few telltale signs of codependency include offering money to support a habit, denying problems, avoiding conflict, a feeling of responsibility for a partner’s thoughts and actions, and saying yes too often. On the other hand, codependent enablers are characterized by self-sacrifice, self-righteous opinions, compulsion to help, excessive judgment, unfair expectations, pushiness but not assertiveness, and boundary-crossing. Codependent relationships can be stopped in their tracks by setting healthy boundaries, establishing needs and wants, developing hobbies outside of the relationship, making decisions independently, and sharing negative feelings. A Little Peace of Hafen in Pleasant Grove offers couples counseling to help couples reform and repair their toxic relationships so that they can move forward.
