Relationships |
Relationships come in many shapes and sizes. They can be part of what makes life worth living and can also cause us the greatest stress and heartache. Our issues will often get played out in the fields of our many relationships. Usually it is our romantic relationships that can cause the most distress. However all our relationships with others (parents, children, friends, lovers, colleagues, bosses, employees) can become a source of either intense pleasure or intense pain. When relationships are going well they make us feel good about ourselves and life in general. When things start to go wrong it can be painful, confusing, disconcerting, lonely, disorienting, stressful, shattering, depressing, anxiety provoking, scary, enraging, humiliating, and can even make us feel hopeless and worthless.

Relationship counselling |
Relationship counselling does not, in this instance, mean couples or family counselling. What Liane does is to work on your side of the equation and figure out how to find your way through the maze of thoughts, feelings and behaviours you are experiencing and strategies for improving your relationships. Sometimes this may be to work through issues once a relationship has ended, or at times to come to some peace with someone who has died. Other times it will be enhancing your skills to better deal with the issues. Or helping you do decide what actions or options you have available.
Relationships are what make life rich and meaningful and we can't live without them (despite what we might think at times). Connection to others is something we are biologically as well as psychologically wired for. Enhancing our ability to strengthen and repair relationships, and increasing our skills in relating and solving conflicts, can help us to live the full life we all deserve and yearn for. |
