You grew up in an unstable, chaotic, disconnected, or enmeshed home and now find intimacy, trust, and connection difficult in romantic relationships and friendships, as well as with yourself. You stay up at night, feeling anxious about how you relate or don’t relate to others, things you have said and done, blaming yourself. You want friends and partners who can understand you and be there for you but you also don’t know how to do these things. You might feel as if it is a lost cause, so you bottle this up and get up in the morning to keep going, putting on your mask of being fine.
You might also try to manage this discontent with sexual affairs, compulsive pornography use, or find yourself in rollercoaster relationships, always sure you will stop next time but quickly find yourself there again. We can move away from the scripts we have learned and discover ourselves to build stronger, more connected relationships.
I help adults who find themselves engaging in confusing, shameful, harmful or tiring patterns of sexual and/or romantic behaviours to identify and challenge their cycles and step into balance to begin to build healthy sexual and romantic lives. With deep compassion and a touch of humor, we can build stable, connective relationships.
