Are Your Relationships Just Not Working?
Are you frustrated that important relationships haven’t worked out the way you had hoped? Have you found yourself repeating the same pattern with each new partner, only to have it end poorly? Are you having difficulty finding the confidence to trust that a new relationship will be healthy and fulfilling?
You may find yourself feeling lonely but avoiding relationships all together for fear of rejection. Or you might doubt that a relationship has a chance of succeeding and avoid committing or “self-sabotage” as a way to protect yourself.
Do you wish you had the confidence to find love and partnership again?
Many Individuals Struggle To Maintain Healthy Relationships
We all establish working models for how to be in a relationship based on the first relationships we developed in our families. For some, those early interactions helped to lay a strong internal foundation from which to engage and form healthy, satisfying relationships as an adult. For others, our first relationships were less than optimal, leaving the internal structure that forms our relationship skills less sturdy and stable. As adults, we then struggle to identify and communicate our needs. We may not have learned how to be vulnerable and authentic, making it difficult to connect with ourselves and others. Sometimes our relationships are rocky and unstable; other times, they are absent of conflict but also lack any sense of connection or intimacy. And, sometimes they are both. Relationship patterns often repeat themselves, which can lead to frustrating, unsatisfying experiences as you try in vain to understand and change your situation.
Fortunately, you can overcome relationship challenges. Relationship counseling for one can help you begin to identify and transform patterns of behavior that are impacting the success of your relationships. You can better understand yourself, the choices you make and the responses and reactions you have in relationships, giving you the confidence and skills you need to try again with greater success.
