Relationships
What shapes who we are and brings meaning and purpose to our lives if not our relationships? Many times the way we relate to other adults has roots in the way we were treated as children, combined with our personalities and influenced by our experience in life. Sometimes a significant adolescent or adult relationship can also have a huge impact on how we function in future relationships.
What is relationship wellbeing? While there are some evidence based factors that help contribute to a healthy relationship, each person has to determine for themselves how satisfied they are. What is the meaning of the relationship you are in? What is its purpose? Does it nurture and nourish those who are committed to enhancing it? Are those who are committed to one another committed to nurturing the relationship in an equal manner? Are there relationships in your life that you want to change or let go of, or struggle to hold on to? Therapy can help you and/or the other person work through those questions and function in ways that feel more helpful or meaningful and to change unhelpful pattern of thinking or reacting. Therapy can also help you understand why or how you may attract a type of person that does not enhance your wellbeing.
Wherever you are at with significant people in your life, therapy can help you hear and speak to one another through a new lens or make choices for yourself that are more in line with your own wellbeing. Our approach draws from attachment theory, emotional focused therapy and other neurobiology informed methods. Some of us have special training in Attachment related issues and a few of us are specially trained to work with couples and families. Please ask.
