Interpersonal Relationships
“Maintaining friendships and relationships is so difficult.” ~ Biologically, humans crave connection. Many contributing factors can lead up to your difficulty in fostering relationships with others. Attachment bonds, trauma, personality disorders, or even just a complex relationship history - are all factors that could lead to having issues with relationships.
Approximately 36% of Americans (and 62% of young adults!) report feeling “lonely” throughout the week. If you are feeling disconnected from others, or feels you have a pattern of unhealthy relationship dynamics, therapy for interpersonal relationships may be a good fit for you. Struggles with interpersonal relationships can lead to depression, anxiety, isolation, and other more serious mental health disorders.
