Therapy for Individuals in a Relationship
You’ve decided to make changes for yourself. Or, perhaps your partner is not willing to go to couples therapy. Sometimes, if we change our own communication or behaviour, it can change our partner’s.
Maybe you are:
- Feeling as though you are walking on eggshells around your partner.
- Getting easily defensive or angry at your partner.
- Fighting with your partner in your mind, but not always discussing it together.
- Criticizing your partner.
Maybe you wonder if:
- You are in a one-sided sided or single sided relationship.
- You are in a codependent relationship.
- You or your partner has an attachment style like avoidant or preoccupied attachment.
- Your unhealthy relationship is a “toxic relationship”.
- You are being gaslighted, stonewalled or even emotionally abused.
