Relationship Resource Consulting in Spokane WA

Life was not meant to be lived in isolation. We are social beings, designed to desire and enjoy deep connections. As we get to know someone better we begin to trust them, and attraction turns into love.  We start to become open and vulnerable with them, allowing our true self to be seen; we share our hearts, hopes, and dreams.  But sometimes things go wrong, trust is abused, and we end up feeling alone and hurt. We feel like the relationship is broken, or we realize maybe it was never whole to begin with.  At Path of Life, we can help you learn how to have a healthy relationship so cycles like attraction, love, and a broken heart can end.

​

The findings of a longitudinal 80 year study published on The Secret to Happiness  highlights the importance of relationships: "The Harvard Study has found a strong association between happiness and close relationships like spouses, family, friends, and social circles. Personal connection creates mental and emotional stimulation, which are automatic mood boosters, while isolation is a mood buster."

OPTIONS OFFERED AT PATH OF LIFE: 

Examining Behavior Patterns: A relationship with God can lead to healthy relationships with others. Developing this relationship can be challenging if we grew up in a Christian home that had a high emphasis on rules and a low emphasis on relationship.  There may have been a lack of emotion or love displayed to us early in life.  Or we may have sensed that we were not "wanted" and ended up trying to please everyone to earn approval.  Often we become frustrated with unhealthy behavior patterns, whether our own or those of others. We may not realize these unhealthy behavior patterns are not truly the problems, but windows to the path that can actually lead us to understanding solutions.  Some of these behavior patterns may include anxiety, depression, deep loneliness, avoidance, pornography use, and addiction.  

​​

Pregnancy Loss: Miscarriage or pregnancy loss can produce feelings of loneliness that can surface unexpectedly as you work through the loss and consider what might have been. Path of Life offers space for you to process these feelings--whether in a group setting or one on one.  Sometimes you just need time, space to heal, and an open opportunity to talk with someone who understands.

​

Upstream: This area of ministry at Path of Life includes presentations for parents in-house at our center as well as presentations to junior and senior high church youth groups. 

• Parent Groups are designed to equip parents of children 3 to 12 years of age to be the primary sex educators of their children. This eight week course offers videos, personal instruction, role plays, and ongoing support. Parents will learn to have tender, age-appropriate, naturally arising conversations with their children about identity and sexuality from a biblical viewpoint.

• Youth Group presentations can be tailored to fit the needs of your group and cover current cultural issues related to pregnancy, abortion, and LGBTQ+ issues. These presentations also cover general relationship behaviors within a biblical construct.

​

At Path of Life, we offer confidential and safe opportunities to learn and relate together using Scripture, which can move us forward on the road to growth and healing. In most cases, we are wounded in relationship, and we need healing in relationship. Loneliness is not a lack of friends, but a lack of meaningful connection.
