Individual Therapy: Your Path To A Healthier Relationship
A healthy, happy relationship starts with you
Do you ever feel like your relationships are too much to handle or that it's hard to really connect with people? Many of us experience ongoing emotional struggles, anxiety, or a sense of not being good enough. If you're finding it difficult to understand these emotions, you're certainly not alone. Understanding your own inner world, and exploring your attachment history and past experiences can be an important first step towards change.
Become a Better You
In attachment-focused therapy, we will tackle the core issues that might be affecting your relationships. By looking into your attachment style and unique history, we can pinpoint and reshape the beliefs that lead to disharmony in your relationships. Therapy not only helps in healing old wounds but also provides you with the skills to create healthier and more secure relationships.
Healing From Trauma
Trauma can have a huge effect on how we engage in our relationships. It influences the way we see ourselves and the world around us. It can change the way we see our own worth and what we expect from others, often causing us to distrust. When we've gone through traumatic experiences we might be more guarded in our relationships, worried about being vulnerable, or scared that we’ll be let down. This can show up in different ways, like pulling away, being defensive, or feeling anxious, which makes it hard to connect with others on a genuine level. Therapy can offer a supportive environment to heal and work through these feelings.
What is Attachment Focused Therapy?
Attachment-Focused Therapy helps you understand and improve your relationships and how you connect with others emotionally. If you struggle with high anxiety in your relationships, or find yourself overwhelmed by your partners emotional needs, attachment-focused therapy can help you develop more secure and healthy patterns of relating, leading to more balanced and satisfying relationships.
