Our lives are filled with relationships
Our lives are filled daily with relational interactions - starting with looking at ourselves in the mirror, to the familiar barrista, to our coworkers and boss, to our families, to our friends at church…
These relationships can be challenging - and we can work on that in therapy.
Maybe we need to look back at generational patterns.
Maybe we need to feel more self-confident in interactions with coworkers.
Maybe we need to bring in family members or partners to work on communication skills and relationship-building.
By improving our relationships, we improve our lives.
