Relationship Concerns
Are you hoping to improve
your relationships with those in your life?
You want to feel supported, understood, and cared for, especially by those you care about. But it can be difficult, at times, to feel supported and/or find new sources of support.
Relationships are important and they can be challenging.
Relationships require a lot of work by both parties -such as communication skills, being understanding, and nurturing. Meanwhile we are also managing other things in our lives that may be changing and evolving at the same time.
So it makes sense that while we may be in relationships we enjoy, we may still feel unheard, unsupported and potentially lonely at times. This happens in all relationships -ones with our romantic partners, friendships, family members.
We may also experience challenges in our relationships with ourselves. Maybe we’re used to being hard on ourselves and often having negative thoughts about ourselves, when we may not talk to others in the same way. The relationship we have with ourselves (e.g. how we think about ourselves) is also very important.
Concerns in dealing with conflict
You may have some concerns with addressing some of your relationship issues. Perhaps you feel worried that this will cause a rift or potentially end the relationship(s). You’re not sure how to communicate what you feel, and what you need.
Or maybe you’ve already tried to express your needs and you still don’t feel understood -so you’re thinking “why put myself through that again?” Perhaps you’re not sure about how you’re feeling and what you want, so you’re wondering “how can I ask others for what I need?”
The good news is, we can figure this out
My clients have been able to benefit from having a space to talk about their needs, and learn more about themselves, what they like and what they don’t quite prefer in relationships. My clients have been able to feel more fulfilled and supported in relationships, leading them to feel less alone. They’ve also been able to feel better about the relationships they have with themselves and be more compassionate towards their own needs.
You can experience the same.
In therapy, you can learn more about you -what it is you need, what you may be feeling, and how to how to communicate them to others.
My role here is to support you as you strengthen your relationships, with those already in your life, new individuals, and/or with yourself.
