The reason relationships & connection can feel so hard

Your earliest experiences with safety and connection teaches your body and nervous system the fundamental rules of relationship. This blueprint is often created in our family of origin where things like conditional safety, emotional inconsistency, or the need to minimize your own needs may have become the norm. The resulting patterns of Insecure and/or Disorganized Attachment often lead to the development of complex survival strategies intended to minimize that perceived risk. This attachment instability is also frequently present in those diagnosed with C-PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Part of our work together is gently discovering how this unique history has shaped your present day experience. This might present as:

• Struggles with trust, vulnerability, or emotional Intimacy.

• Repeating the same painful relationship patterns.

• Experience abandonment fears or chronic rejection sensitivity.

• Feelings of disconnect, numbness, or shut down.

• Cycles of approach/avoidance in relationships.
