Do you wish you could meet someone but know something is getting in your way? Are you stuck in a difficult relationship?

Most people have conflicts about relationships. A conflict is wanting but not wanting a relationship. Often not wanting (fear of getting) is unconscious.

If these conflicts remain out of out awareness it is difficult to meet someone and all you might be left with is "There are no available men (or women)".

Everything in life involves relationships -how you think and feel about yourself; how you are with others whether it is the caregiver who raised you, your friends, spouse, or boss.

Single, a couple, or married? Relationships in conflict:

Are you trying to find a loving relationship and not having success? Have you been having marital problems? Is the sexual and affectionate part of your relationship missing? Are you fighting all the time with your partner? Perhaps you find yourself giving more than you receive and repeatedly find a partner who does not meet your needs. Do you feel repeatedly stuck in bad relationships and have no idea how this happens?

Relationships at work: Do you let opportunities or promotions pass you by because you feel too unsure of yourself to ask for a raise or promotion?  Are you assertive at work but timid or intimidated when it comes to talking with your spouse?

 

What can you do? Talking to a professional is the first step.

Call me. Setting up an appointment is an action that will bring you relief.

    Signs of Codependency

  • Being unable to leave a relationship because it is familiar, even though you know it is depriving and hurtful.
  • Feeling deserving of love but usually finding people who can't love.
  • Feeling the relationship is your "fault" and feeling afraid to express critical, angry feelings. As a result, you are not able to trust your real self to emerge in a relationship.

 

Often choices of partners are affected by many things out of our awareness. Therapy gives us the opportunity to understand our choices, gain more control of our behavior, and live life in a more fulfilling manner.
