RELATIONSHIPS
Change the Story
Relationships have a way of bringing out the parts of ourselves we don’t always want to see.
It might be fear of abandonment or rejection, fear of not being enough, or of losing yourself trying to become what someone else needs.
It might show up as judgment, resentment, high expectations, or the pressure for your partner to live up to an ideal no real person could reach.
Whether it’s romantic relationships, friendships, or even family dynamics, the patterns we carry internally tend to repeat.
Anxiety and overthinking. Avoidance and pulling away.
Anger, resentment, or feeling trapped. These dynamics can feel painfully familiar, no matter how different the situation may seem.
It’s easy to believe the problem is “them” or to believe it’s “you.”
But it usually runs deeper than that.
The way we approach connection is often shaped by ideas we’ve absorbed over time, especially about how love "should" work. We carry unspoken rules, assumptions and expectations that negatively influence our relationship dynamics, often without us realizing it.
You don’t have to keep repeating the same cycles.
When you start seeing the emotional patterns driving your reactions, you can choose differently and respond, not just react.
Through therapy, you can uncover these underlying beliefs and patterns that affect relationship success. By changing these patterns, you can build healthier, more authentic connections that aren’t driven by fear, doubt, or unrealistic expectations.
It can help you create stronger relationships by fostering a deeper trust in yourself and your ability to navigate the complexities of connection.
