Not every relationship challenge is about the other person.
Sometimes it’s about the patterns we learned to survive.
The way we:
• Avoid conflict to keep the peace
• Over-give to feel secure
• Shut down when we feel overwhelmed
• Chase reassurance when we feel uncertain
These responses once protected you.
They helped you navigate the connection the best way you knew how.
But healing asks gently:
Are these patterns still serving you?
Healthy relationships aren’t built on perfection.
They’re built on awareness, regulation, and the courage to respond differently.
And that can feel uncomfortable…
but it can also feel freeing.
If you’re noticing patterns in your relationships and wondering where they come from, therapy can be a safe place to explore them.
