Difficulty in Relationships
How you operate.
You’re the kind of person who struggles to set boundaries for fear of inconveniencing or burdening others. Perhaps you sacrifice your own wants and needs for those you care about. You may struggle to get vulnerable even with the people closest to you. To put it simply — your relationships just aren’t what you want them to be.
How we help.
We’ll navigate this together by both building insight into what is challenging you about the relationship and experimenting with how you behave in it. We use the therapeutic relationship as a proxy for other relationships in your life, meaning we’ll teach you assertiveness skills and encourage you to practice them with me at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We’ll work our way together to translating these skills to your outside relationships, and then debrief the experience and problem solve as needed.
