How many of your relationships are satisfying and lasting? Would you like to deepen your close relationships based on a deeper understanding of yourself and your loved ones? Do you consider the relationship with yourself important?
Areas of discussion could be personal awareness, individual needs, coping mechanisms, reactive behaviors, and alternative perspective. We’ll get to the root of what you really mean when you’re communicating out of fear and/or hurt. We’ll also explore what you truly want from your relationships and if your current relationships are serving your best interest.
