Building Satisifying Relationships

Relationship Counseling
 is effective at different stages in our primary relationships
be it work, dating, premarital, family planning and parenting.  When relationships seem stuck or dissatisfying, use counseling as a way to improve communication, conflict resolution skills and deepening connections.  .
 THERE IS HOPE!

SECURE ATTACHMENT
Our human desire for predictable love, attunement & empathy (being known & understood) and individual expression within relationship, are ongoing developmental needs.  When there is a wounding or lack of love, empathy and respect, we may become defensive as a way to protect ourselves. We learn early in life how to defend our core vulnerability from being re-wounded when those needs aren’t met, creating a compensation pattern in our personality.  Some of us become self reliant in an effort to not be hurt or let down when the need for support and safety aren’t satisfied. Or maybe we learn to “selflessly” care-take others, mistaking co-dependancy for love.
"Early interruptions in attachment and bonding may create defensive patterns that protect us when we are younger, but interfer with our adult lives."
