We have been socialized to believe it is virtuous to put other's needs before our own. This often results in poor self care, feelings of resentment and depression, which paradoxically hinders rather than helps relationships. I encourage people to nurture the relationship they have with themselves. This may involve defining more effective personal boundaries and expectations. Identification of unhealthy coping strategies is accompanied by brainstorming more effective replacement behaviors. I am honored to accompany you on your journey to pursue a more meaningful and joyous life.
