If you are feeling frustrated with past or current relationship that has negative impact you wish to avoid, I invite you to a journey to better understand your perception and how it causes you to behave in a certain way. A journey that will help you realize your full potential and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
I am working with patients to identify patterns of interactions that result in negative feelings. I try to fit theory and practice to the specific needs of each patient. I often assess whether Bowlby's attachment theory is applicable since it provides a powerful platform to understand our behavior and develop tools to improve our social interactions.
We are all social and as a result consistently live with thoughts and sometimes doubts about our interactions with others. These thoughts have a very significant impact on our life and our social connections. We can feel lonely, sad, depressed, anxious and above all frustrated that we cannot fulfill our full potential.
