Long-Standing Patterns & Relationship Struggles

Sometimes people notice the same difficulties repeating over time—intense emotions, conflict, fear of abandonment, feeling misunderstood, or relationships that feel unstable or exhausting. These patterns can be painful and confusing. Therapy can provide a safe space to understand these patterns and work toward more secure, steady connections with self and others over time.

Signs this May Be Affecting You

You might notice:

• Repeating conflict or rupture in close relationships

• Feeling easily rejected, criticised, or abandoned

• Intense emotions that feel hard to regulate

• Feeling stuck in the same patterns despite trying to change

• People-pleasing, shutting down, or pushing people away

• Strong self-criticism, shame, or feeling “too much”

• Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in connection

• Impulsivity or reactions you later regret

• Feeling empty, numb, or unsure who you are

• Relationships feeling like a source of stress rather than support
