Relationships

Connections with others don’t last long.

Relationships have always been a challenge for you. They are fantastic at the beginning, but they don’t last long or end well.

Sometimes a relationship starts on firmer ground, and you think, “Maybe this time.” But, eventually, the familiar issues reappear, and you begin to feel distant from the one you thought was your true love.

You recognize painful patterns in your relationships. Friends and partners have even pointed them out to you. But you can’t seem to change them.

Something triggers a response. Before you know it, you’ve said something hurtful. Or your partner says something that hurts you, and you withdraw – hiding your anger and pain.

Communication seems impossible.

No matter how hard you try, it’s difficult to see the other person’s view. This lack of flexibility eventually makes the other individual resentful.

Being open with your feelings is difficult, making honest communication very challenging.

Problems are difficult to overcome, usually leading to arguments. Nothing ever gets resolved.

Being willing to reach a compromise is challenging.

Therapy can help with relationship problems.

You may wonder if you can improve your relationships by being in individual therapy. The answer is yes.

If couples therapy doesn’t make sense, you can still find better relationship satisfaction by working on yourself. You can learn to understand your needs and how to express them, which will inevitably alter your relationship.

Difficulty finding or maintaining a satisfying relationship is one of the most common reasons people enter therapy. Working with a therapist gives you a doorway to a deep exploration of yourself and your direction in life.
