About

Relationships are vital for survival and necessary for growth. Often, however, people experience disconnections from others, which can be a major source of suffering. Although we deeply desire and need emotional connections, many people are reasonably apprehensive about the risks involved in intimacy. As a result, one may keep parts of themselves hidden or silenced. This serves an important protective function, which must be honored and understood with compassionate curiosity. Therapy can offer a safe space to relinquish unproductive patterns and consider new, more balanced and flexible ways of relating.
