Being in a relationship can have a profoundly positive effect on your sense of self and well-being.  People in healthy relationships tend to live longer and experience less physical, emotional and mental health issues. Conversely, being in a relationship beset by problems can have a crippling effect on one’s self-esteem and capacity to live life to the full.

​

Each relationship presents unique circumstances and challenges, particularly when there are different personalities and value systems involved.  Sometimes we are not aware of the part we play in relationships, until we notice patterns of behaviour keep re-occurring. Many escape feelings of abandonment by clinging onto relationships which are unfulfilling and destructive.

​

Without acknowledging how we feel, we can become passive aggressive, vengeful, or be abusive in order to discharge our feelings. We can become angry at our partner to escape the feeling of rejection or unworthiness.The way we escape our feelings can sabotage our relationships. Closeness, communication and commitment are the keys to authentic intimacy
