“Will this cycle ever stop?”
Big feelings, bigger reactions. Again, and again…and again. Day after day the same agonizing patterns have replaced fulfillment with emptiness and resentment.
You may be the one who longs to feel heard, believing that if your partner finally understood your pain and frustration then you would finally get the love and comfort you’ve been needing.
Or maybe you’re the one who feels like there’s no use in talking about it. Nothing good will come of it. No matter what you try, it’s never good enough. Your only option is to withdraw.
So many relationships fall into the same destructive patterns. Do you feel like you are at the end of the relationship rope?
Thankfully, there are well researched methods to replace the pain and relentlessness with confidence and connection. If you’re ready to start, the work can be challenging but it will also be exciting and rewarding. I am absolutely committed to making counseling a positive experience.
