Perhaps you can relate...
You feel like you are one mistake away from your partner abandoning you.
​
You find yourself in on-again off-again relationships or situationships...even though you crave stability.
​
You immediately can feel that something is "off" when there's the slightest shift of energy in your partners tone, behavior, or texts.
​
You deep down want closeness....but are afraid voicing your needs will push them away.
​
You panic during conflict or disconnection...even small arguments feel like an emotional emergency.
​
You feel like you want to ask for reassurance...but don't know how.
It's so painful.
What if instead...
You could feel emotionally safe...even when you're partner needs space.​
​
You could feel like reassurance is a preference, rather than a survival need. ​
​
You could stop over-giving in hopes that it earns love.​
​
You could feel like conflict is manageable...and not the end of the world.
​
You could trust yourself to choose partners with green flags...not just red ones.
Sounds pretty good, right?
Therapy can help:
The wonderful thing about therapy is that it's relational.
This means that our work together includes building trust and having open communication.
IFS + EMDR therapy (not your average talk therapy) can be so useful to help you work through relationship anxiety in a way that actually translates to your relationships.
​
And I want you to know this: nothing is too much.​ Anything you’re anxious about gets to come to the table, and we will sort it out together.​
​
This work is deeper than coping skills...it helps you release longstanding beliefs and emotions that are activating your nervous system.
