Are you feeling stuck in unhappy, unrewarding relationship patterns and unsure how to change them?

When relationships are not going well it can cause anxiety, and negatively impact your mood and how you feel about yourself.

Relationships are both important and complicated. Studies consistently show that feeling well connected to others positively impacts your mental and physical health. Conversely, difficult relationships can create stress on your mind and body. At times you may find you are struggling with a particular relationship, or maybe there is a pattern you are noticing with a number of people in your life. Perhaps you focus on what you wish others would change and feel frustrated and angry when this doesn’t happen. You may interpret others’ behavior as a reflection of how much they care about you, when often this is not the case. Further, you might blame yourself or question your worth in response to relationship challenges.
