Therapy for repeating relationship patterns
You might find yourself working hard to keep people happy, withdrawing when you want closeness, seeking reassurance, or feeling unseen in relationships. Noticing a familiar pattern can bring both relief and frustration.
In therapy, we can get curious about those experiences and how they influence your relationship with yourself and other people.
Understanding what the pattern does for you
Ways of protecting yourself often have a history. We can explore the situations that bring a pattern forward, what you feel in those moments, and the responses that follow.
That understanding can help us consider what you want to keep and what you want to approach differently.
Individual work on relationships
You can work on relationship concerns in individual therapy. A partner or family member does not need to attend for us to explore your experience, boundaries, needs, and choices.
My approach is relational and psychodynamic. We may notice patterns in the therapy conversation as well as in your life outside it, and talk about those observations together.
Other ways to explore this work
If you are seeking support as a couple, we can discuss couples therapy. Interpersonal group therapy may offer another setting for relational work; current group details should be discussed before deciding whether it fits.
