Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.

So...you're attracted to emotionally unavailable partners. You overgive, overcompromise, and people-please. You feel anxious when your partner isn’t with you, checking your phone every few minutes to see if they've texted. You're on an emotional roller coaster, feeling terrified of abandonment, panicked during conflict, and at other times, resentful. You struggle setting boundaries and holding them. Maybe your partner (or ex) is full of red flags you missed. Or maybe your new partner is a total green flag, but your anxiety remains. You feel too "needy" and too sensitive, and you try not to show it - but sometimes you can't help it.
