Navigating relationships can be tough. Each individual in the relationship comes with their own background, experiences, ideals, traditions, beliefs, perspectives, likes, dislikes, routines, wants, goals, interests, traumas, quirks, and habits. At times it is natural for individuals, even those who love and care for one another, to disagree and experience frustration with each other. You are each on different journeys and are trying to share a path. So bumping into each other occasionally is normal.

However, when those frustrations lead to things like resentment, bitterness, lack of interest, indifference, intolerance, and other toxic dynamics, relationships can have the individuals in them begin to drift down different paths and intentionally leaving each other out.

Working with a counselor to address these toxic dynamics can lead to increased relationship interest and satisfaction. Often times individuals in relationships get stuck looking back, longing for things to be “the way they used to be” and forgetting that the individuals in the relationship are no longer the people they once were.

In relationship counseling we can explore who you are now as individuals and work to connect with each other from that perspective.
