Do you struggle to maintain romantic relationships after the initial dopamine hit has dropped? Do you start to feel pressure, like you want to escape and fear emotional intimacy? Feel better relying on yourself for fear of losing yourself in another, not being enough or being let down? A want for connection but a fear of true intimacy?
Or do you feel anxious if your partner doesn't respond immediately to your text or are you hypersensitive to the thought of abandonment and rejection? Do you have low self esteem and feel like you need other people to validate you?
Depending on how our parents and caregivers responded to our emotional needs as children has an impact on how we attach to others later in life so each of us has what is called an attachment style.
Counselling can help you understand yourself better, how you tend to attach to people and can help you now as an adult form and maintain close connections, set boundaries and understand why you have previously sabotaged relationships. Insecure attachment styles can be changed and talking therapy can help you do this.
For a free initial 15-minute chat about how counselling could help you, please contact me via email or messenger. I promise you, although it might feel scary you'll feel more empowered, calmer, happier and in control of your life as you start to make changes! 😊
