INDIVIDUAL / COUPLES COUNSELING FOR RELATIONSHIP UNCERTAINTY
Not knowing where you stand in a relationship is exhausting and scary.
A lot is on the line. When something goes right in your relationship, you definitely want it. Then, the same day or week, something bothers you and you think, “I can’t do this forever.” This internal conflict is emotionally and psychologically draining as you ping-pong back and forth trying to make the “right” decision.
You question “Are these unsatisfying parts worth leaving over? If I end the relationship will I find better? But what about the parts I love: I don’t want to give those up.”
Your life feels on hold, you feel stuck and unable to make a decision which gets in the way of you consistently committing to working on your relationship or making progress towards detaching from it and pursuing other avenues.
