• Are you feeling like a fish out of water navigating how to create a sense of stability and normalcy for your family while meeting the needs of the military?
• Do you feel alone?
• Do you feel like everyone else has got it together as a spouse while you are alone struggling?
• Did your spouse come home from deployment a different person?
• Are your children struggling in school or making friends?
• Are you struggling making friends?

You feel like you are alone as a new spouse or as a seasoned spouse at a new base. You put your focus on creating the new house a home for your loved ones. You hope the curtains you love will fit the windows in your new house, and that the couch fits. It is hard, but you try to build excitement and opportunity for your children struggling with the transition. This adds another level of stress. You may feel like other spouses are judging you and your ability to adjust.

As you are adjusting to meeting your expectations as a military spouse, seeking therapy may feel like an unattainable goal right now. You feel obligated to care for everyone else first. You are not alone. Many spouses, new and seasoned, experience many of the same feelings as you. The pressure to appear to have it together and be a super human is intense. Everyone has struggles, some the same and some different.

I can personally attest to the struggles and pressures a military spouse experiences. My spouse is now retired from the military, but the connection gained with other spouses never fades.

You don’t have to feel alone. You can feel optimistic and fulfilled as a military spouse. Call today to schedule your initial consultation.
