Breaking the Cycle of Dysfunctional Relationships

How is your relationship? Not as happy as it used to be?

Are you looking to reconnect in a different, more loving way?

What is it about this relationship that feels like your other relationships?

Maybe you are in a relationship that you feel you “settled for", that you are not comfortable in, you are not being treated with respect, or you feel frustrated much of the time. Perhaps you two just don’t connect in ways that are meaningful to you.

Relationships are the cornerstone of our lives. And when our relationships are painful, we are in pain.

When we begin to see how the painful dysfunction started, we can see how the patterns repeat through the generations. You can start to realize where the unhealthy patterns started.

Being aware of these patterns is the start of healing issues that don’t work for you. Then you can create healthier ways of relating to each other.  

Showing appreciation and fondness is a vital part of intimate relationships. And relating to others socially and at work with respect and boundaries is a gateway to a more rewarding lifestyle.

By learning more effective ways of relating to each other and managing conflict, people have healthier conversations and can relax a bit more, once they feel safe and heard.
