Relationships & Attachment

Did You Know?
Many of the ways people relate to others begin long before adult relationships. Early experiences in significant relationships can shape how individuals communicate, trust, express emotions, and respond to conflict. Understanding these patterns is not about placing blame—it is about gaining insight so that healthier, more fulfilling relationships can be created moving forward.
Relationship patterns may look like:
✔ Difficulty trusting others
✔ Fear of rejection or abandonment
✔ Avoiding conflict or difficult conversations
✔ Putting others' needs before your own
✔ Feeling emotionally disconnected
✔ Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
✔ Difficulty setting healthy boundaries
✔ Feeling anxious or insecure in relationships
