Relationship Distress Check-In
Relationships can be a source of support and also a major source of stress. This check-in looks at conflict, trust, communication, emotional safety, and whether the relationship is giving both people room to be themselves.

Relationships FAQs
Does every unhealthy relationship need to end?
No single check-in can answer that. The key questions are whether there is safety, accountability, respect, willingness to change, and enough support for you to make choices freely.
When is couples counseling not a good first step?
When there is intimidation, coercive control, stalking, or violence, individual safety planning and specialized support may be more appropriate.
Can relationship stress affect mental health?
Yes. Ongoing conflict or disconnection can affect anxiety, depression, sleep, concentration, and self-esteem.
What if I am unsure whether a behavior is abusive?
You can speak confidentially with a relationship-abuse or domestic-violence service without committing to any particular action.
