Healthy relationships require a balance between enough safety to be authentic and enough trustworthiness to depend on each other. If your relationships keep repeating the same painful cycles, you may feel hopeless that it can ever be different.
Some people have learned to keep others at a distance to avoid getting hurt or let down. Others are more afraid of being alone, so they lose themselves in their relationships or have intense relationships that burn out. Some people both fear being alone but expect that anyone they get close to will hurt or disappoint them.
Therapy can help you understand your relationships and learn how to have safer, more trustworthy relationships that balance authenticity and connection.
We can start by discussing your concerns and goals in a free 50-minute consultation so you can decide if you would like to try working together.
