Relationships
In therapy, whilst we work 1-1, relationships are a huge part of the work. This doesn't have to necessarily mean romantic relationships, but also our relationships with family, friends and ourselves. We are innately relational being, and so relationships are often the bedrock of our explorations.
In Therapy
You may currently be going through a relationship rough spot. Maybe you feel at a fork in the road and don't know what you want to be your next step forward. Perhaps you always envisaged having a certain type of family or being married or in the 'perfect' job at a certain age and how you are in a rather existential place, wondering what your future looks like, and who is in it.
Therapy can be a helpful space to reflect on these considerations, judgement free, to explore what had led you to develop certain values in relationships and in yourself, and what you want to choose for yourself moving forward. This can include looking back at your relationship with your primary caregiver and family as you grew up as well as how you relate to people around you now.
We can explore how you communicate and how you can develop more helpful modes of communication and skills around conflict resolution and boundaries. We can also explore emotional connection and perhaps help you identify your emotional experiences so you can share them and connect with those around you in a more honest and open way. We can also explore the endings to relationships, the pain of loss and the grief of relationships breaking down or drifting apart in a safe, grounded, and compassionate space.
​
Together we can help you discover what it is you want out of your community and relationships and how you can be part of a supportive community - especially in a time when connection is becoming more and more sparse. Get in touch if you would like to discuss what this could look like for you personally!
