Healthy Relationships for All
Relatable Counseling Center was created for folks who may not have been given the best relationship blueprint and are struggling to achieve the connected relationships they want. In the modern age, having healthy relationships can be a social media point of pride. This is fantastic for encouraging us all to get the love that we deserve, but what if, despite our best efforts, we feel stuck in our relationships and lost with how to get to “better”?
What happens if you have never seen a healthy relationship? What if you know what you do NOT want, but are not quite sure what you could have? Where does this push for healthy connection leave folks who may have a history of unhealthy relationship dynamics, but not for lack of trying or due to some inherent “badness”? In my experience, folks often feel ashamed for not having a picture-perfect relationship, and end up feeling left alone to figure it out. This creates a sense of shame and isolation that can be heavy for anyone to carry.
There is nothing wrong with you and you are not “failing” at relating. You are likely struggling from societal and familial lack of training and/or a lack of exposure to healthy models of relationships. You also are likely struggling because, regardless of who you are, relationships can be complicated sometimes. That is HUMAN.
At Relatable Counseling Center, I want to help you and your loved ones learn how to communicate, minimize those prolonged arguments that seem to go nowhere, and discover how to stay connected to yourself and your relationships rather than feeling like you have to choose between one or the other.
