Relationship Counseling

 


Ever wonder why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships?

You might be carrying the effects of unhealed emotional neglect, and it’s impacting how you connect with others.

Here are 4 ways unhealed emotional neglect can show up in your relationships as an adult:

1️⃣ You struggle to express emotions. If you weren’t taught to recognize or express your feelings growing up, you might find it hard to communicate your needs or connect emotionally with others.

2️⃣ You avoid emotional intimacy. When emotional neglect is part of your past, opening up and letting someone get close can feel too vulnerable, so you keep your walls up to protect yourself.

3️⃣ You have a fear of conflict or rejection. If your emotional needs were ignored or dismissed in the past, you might fear that expressing your needs now will lead to rejection, conflict, or abandonment.

4️⃣ You feel distant in relationships. Even if you care about someone, emotional neglect can create a sense of detachment or isolation, making it hard to feel truly connected, even with those closest to you.

Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward healing and creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I want you to know that you are worth feeling seen, heard, and valued and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

At Life By Design Therapy™, we specialize in helping you heal from emotional neglect and create healthier, more meaningful relationships.

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/

A HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR OUR TEENS WITH TEEN THERAPY Among the many changes that frequently occur during the teenage years, kids start to move away from their parents and gravitate far more to their peers for guidance. They desperately want to feel accepted and appreciated, and sometimes this leads to risky behavior like experimenting with drugs and alcohol, having unsafe sex, or getting into trouble with the law.
