I understand that your relationships with your loved ones, whether it is a spouse, parent, or child, are important and so is the relationship you have with yourself.
Are you looking for relationship support, work through past trauma and hurts, and deal with the challenges of an unhealthy relationships? Do you feel like it is not entirely safe to be emotionally vulnerable because the other person will get defensive, shut down, or bring you down more?
