Relationship issues.
Whether it be between our partner, spouse, significant other, mother, father,
sister, brother, extended family, boss, coworkers, or ourself, we are constantly
involved in relationships. It is therefore understandable that issues can arise we
might want to address in therapy.
It is said to be important to be able to negotiate relationships within the bounds of
what some call or consider "healthy". Of course, because there is no true
definition of what exactly healthy "is" and "is not", it can be helpful and beneficial
to look at the way we have relationships with a psychologist who is skilled at
helping us figure out what we need and want from our involvements.
When people love too little or too much, depend too greatly on another or don't
depend upon anyone at all, there are usually problems. Isolation. Enmeshment.
Co-dependence. Bitterness. Addiction. Denial. Independence that is
imprisoning and isolating. Whatever it may be, it can be helpful to look at those
relationships within which we are involved, how we have relationships, with whom
we tend to have them, and how we might grow and learn along the way.
Therapy is an excellent way to look at ourselves in relationship to ourselves and
our world. And ultimately, the therapeutic relationship, more specifically, your
relationship with your therapist, is the agent for change. My relationship with you
can illuminate and illustrate your relationship tendencies and provide a nurturing
environment for understanding, new growth and change.
