A fulfilling life is built on meaningful relationships, including the relationship we have cultivated with ourselves, as how we value and see ourselves impact how we relate to others. Improving relationships require intentional effort, not just passive acceptance. Engaging with others through relationships helps us grow, develop and have a deeper understanding of self. Our early childhood development and attachments develop the template for our relationships later in life. When these are unhealthy, we hold onto and carry unhealthy patterns in communication, conflict management and develop defences or armour. These defences or armour are often born from necessity and survival, with the aim of protection. However, as we grow, they are no longer serving to protect us, and are actually harming ourself and our ability to connect to others.
The quality of our relationships determine the quality of our lives

Therapy is a process of connection, learning and unlearning:
Therapy serves as a dynamic process where a safe therapeutic relationship fosters connections, enabling you to learn new coping mechanisms and perspectives while simultaneously unlearning maladaptive thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs learned in life. Therapists also engage in this dual process, learning from yourself while unlearning preconceived notions to adapt their approach, ultimately facilitating the client’s development of more authentic and healthier patterns of thought and behaviour.
If you are ready to process stuck memories/ traumatic events, feeling stuck and not sure why, wanting deeper more authentic relationships. Or if you have specific issues or concerns that you need support with, then book a session and start your journey of self discovery now.
