Relationship Therapy Can Help if You:

• Overthink texts, tone, or small changes in someone’s behavior
• Worry that people are upset with you, pulling away, or losing interest
• Feel responsible for keeping the peace or managing other people’s emotions
• Struggle to set boundaries without guilt
• Notice yourself people-pleasing, overexplaining, or abandoning your own needs
• Feel anxious in dating or unsure how to trust yourself in relationships
• Repeat the same relationship patterns even when you want something different

• Fear rejection, conflict, disappointment, or being misunderstood
• You want to understand your attachment style, its origin story, and how it shows up in your relationships

Understanding Your Relationship Patterns:

Relationship therapy can help you understand why certain patterns feel so hard to break. We may explore attachment style, past relationship experiences, family dynamics, boundaries, communication, and the beliefs you have developed about love, conflict, closeness, and your own needs.

For many people, relationship anxiety is connected to the fawn response: adapting, pleasing, overexplaining, or over-functioning in order to feel safe and connected. You may notice yourself trying to prevent conflict, read someone’s mood, take responsibility for their emotions, or abandon your own needs to avoid rejection or disconnection.

Therapy can help you build a healthier relationship with yourself, not just with others. This may include strengthening self-trust, practicing boundaries, identifying your needs, and learning that love does not have to require self-abandonment. EMDR may also be used to help reprocess attachment wounds, painful relationship experiences, and core beliefs that keep you stuck in the same patterns.
