Relationships:
1. Has the magic gone out of our relationship? Are you having a hard time feeling close? Agreeing on even the simplest things? Even remembering why you got together with this person?
2. Are you constantly being ‘triggered’ by the person closest to you?
3. Are you finding it hard to communicate with your partner without it turning into a battle?
4. Are you frequently having to stuff your real thoughts/feelings for fear of starting another argument?
5. Are you longing for a close personal relationship but the right person just never seems to come along--or to stay?
One of the most satisfying and potentially also one of the most painful aspects of our lives can be our closest relationships. We often choose people who inspire our greatest hopes but also trigger our most immature, fearful, angry or shameful reactions. Then we repeat the same arguments and patterns over and over again, hoping for a different result! Sometimes it’s hard to work on a relationship if the two people don’t have the tools to deal with their own issues. We can do individual or couples work or a combination. Relationships at work or with parents, friends, or family members can bring up the same dynamics. It is important to see these relationships for what they really are and to turn them into a powerful pathway to growth and healing.
