Are you suffering from social or relationship anxiety or fears? Do you:
Overanalyze your social interactions, worried that you “made a mistake” or said or did something wrong?
Need constant reassurance to feel secure in your relationships?
Feel tense and on edge in your relationships, waiting for something to go wrong?
Get scared and do something to push your partner or loved ones away if you feel vulnerable or things feel too close?
Worry that you won’t ever find a partner and will be alone?
Use substances to get a break from your anxiety?
Avoid conflict?
Act in an inauthentic way when interacting with others?
Do these worries and fears keep you from living a fulfilling life?
Anxiety and worry about your relationships and about who you are and whether or not you’re good enough can be a distraction from here-and-now moments and the positive things happening in your life.
Being consumed by anxiety can impact your self-esteem and cause insecurities and misunderstandings in your relationships.
Fear often shows up in relationships as difficulty being vulnerable, of worries about rejection or discomfort with intimacy and can stop you from truly opening up to your partner, family members or friends and experiencing authentic connections.
We help with all the ways that anxiety can show up in your relationships:
Fear of abandonment
Anxiety about committing
Fear of conflict
Discomfort or anxiety about sexual performance.
Fear of being betrayed
Worry that you can’t trust others - or sometimes yourself
Fear of getting too close
The good news is that therapy can help.
Therapy can provide you with a safe and supportive environment to explore the underlying causes of your anxiety; develop effective coping strategies to manage it; and work toward a greater sense of self-understanding and self-compassion.
It can help you reframe your negative thoughts and develop healthier, more balanced ways of looking at yourself and your relationships.
We’ll work collaboratively with you to develop personalized coping strategies that suit your unique needs and preferences.
These strategies will help you effectively manage your anxiety symptoms in your day-to-day life and relationships, providing you a sense of control and empowerment.
