Hi, Hi, Hi!

This is a topic that keeps coming up and up in our therapy practice so LETS TALK ABOUT IT.

Sound familiar?

Are you someone who constantly finds themselves overthinking relationships? Do you often wonder if your partner truly cares for you or if you're good enough for them? Relationship anxiety is real, my friends, and it can stem from various factors such as attachment styles, past negative experiences, low self-esteem, and poor communication skills. But fear not, because there are ways to overcome this anxiety and build healthier relationships.

Here are some of the major points Olivia hits on this episode...

• Relationship anxiety can lead to behaviors such as seeking constant reassurance, controlling actions, doubts about compatibility, and overanalyzing words and actions.
• Overcoming relationship anxiety involves communicating feelings, living in the present moment, confronting anxiety, and going to therapy to understand and change relationship patterns.
• This is crucial - self-awareness and addressing personal issues is crucial to create healthy and meaningful relationships.

Remember, you deserve to be in a relationship where you feel valued, supported, and at ease.

Parenting is hard.

It's far easier to assume your kids don't need you than to show up for them and do the work.

Perhaps one of the reasons we fail to be present and parent from a place of mindfulness is due to our own internal clutter. We’ve got so much going on and don’t take care of the adult stuff (read: our own personal stuff) that it makes it extremely difficult to find room for our little peoples stuff. Whether that is a busy schedule, work projects, relationship struggles or our own work regarding patterns and beliefs, it all affects us uniquely and ultimately blocks our ability to show up for others.

Lets keep the conversation going...

We all want significance and meaning.

How do we know when we might be struggling to find it?

What does it look like to have internal significance and meaning versus externally?

Why does it matter?

How does your attachment style relate?
