Healthy Relationship Program: Set Goals and Transform your Relationship
Imagine your life without goals. That’s right: pretend you just wiped away every single goal imaginable—from the mundane sort like getting out of bed and brushing your teeth to the bigger variety, like making partner at the firm. I bet you can’t imagine it. Because without goals (the ones you consciously name and the ones you just carry out), our lives might feel like unstructured, amorphous stretches of time. Setting goals can direct, energize and motivate you. And meeting your goals is a tremendously rewarding experience.
Take a moment to jot down three goals that are important to you—things you want to achieve in your life.

People start counseling because they’re distressed. A large number stop after only one meeting. People stay in counseling because they feel understood. When you feel someone “really gets it,” a bridge is built that allows you to feel connected and supported.
The need to feel understood is universal. Have you ever been upset and turned to a friend to talk to? Whether your friend had been in the same situation or not, odds are you felt better once someone else appreciated your struggle. That’s the power of empathy—it can transform your mood; it can also transform your relationship.
