Do you find yourself ending up in the same type of relationship over and over, despite vowing you'll never do that again?
Do you ever feel uncertain about your relationship, worrying that you may be settling or missing out on the right partner?
Are you struggling with personal issues that are causing problems in your relationship?
Are you confused about what a healthy relationship looks like for you?
You're not alone. For some, doubt and worry have been a quiet presence for years. For others, things felt good until something suddenly changed. Relationship anxiety shows up in every type of relationship—across cultures, ages, faiths, and sexual orientations. It may hum in the background of daily life or strike without warning.
break the cycle
So often, we're plagued by intrusive thoughts. We think that if we can change this one thing about ourselves, answer the right question, find the right person (or guru) we'll solve everything.
This search for The One Thing often gets you nowhere, and creates more anxiety. This doesn't mean that we don't need to change, that we might not be in toxic relationships, or that we don't need understanding. It means that the real answers often lie deep inside us; and the healing we require comes with compassion, and the willingness to tolerate growth.
You can break the cycle of relationship anxiety. It doesn't matter if you're in a relationship now, or you're looking for one. By understanding and working with the unique fingerprint of your anxieties, you can turn anxieties into allies.
