Relationships and Relationship Issues
As humans we are relational beings, meaning that we crave, seek and thrive in having relationships with other human beings. However, at times many things “get in the way” of actually having and creating meaningful and fulfilling relationships. We may have lacked the appropriate modeling of a healthy relationship by our families; or perhaps we have been deeply hurt by a previous relationship causing us to be defensive and struggle with trust and safety. We may feel like we are “stuck” repeating the same patterns of relationships and interactions but are not sure how to stop the cycle or how to change our behaviors.
Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from yourself and others and are unsure about why you feel this way or how to change it? Many people complain of feeling bored, lonely, unsafe or unable to let their “true self” seen by their friends or partners for fear of rejection and disconnection.
Whether you want to uncover what is getting in the way of having healthier and more satisfying relationships, or you want to learn or improve your communication skills, ability to interact in a genuine manner, or increase your authenticity and genuineness counseling can help you.
Relationships take work!
There is no "set it and forget it" relationship. We are evolving human beings, we are dynamic and our relationships are a reflection of this evolution.
Unfortunately we are not always growing at the same rate or in the same direction, so unless we are INTENTIONAL about how we INVITE our partners to grow alongside of us, many challenges can come up.
Working with both of you can help you develop more realistic expectations, patience, compassion, empathy, forgiveness and/or learn to balance assertiveness with compromise. We can help you achieve your goals and the relationships you seek.
We may help you accomplish this through individual, couples or group therapy (or a combination of these approaches).
Ultimately we will support you in identifying what matters to you, and empower you to co-create a meaningful and satisfying relationship.
Give yourself a chance to create the relationships you deserve. Contact us to set up a consultation.
