“Attachment is another word for disappointment and pain.” Are your relationships a source of elation and devastation but rarely anything in between? Perhaps ‘chaos’ and ‘emotional roller coaster’ define your family, friendships, or marriage? Trusting others is difficult. You feel manipulated or foolish, and your coping mechanisms aren’t working. You tolerate unhealthy behaviors because it hurts less than being abandoned. There is another way. I promise. View 6 Photos It’s been another tough day of letdowns, disappointments, and hurt feelings. A miserable family gathering or a perfect plan that fell apart, but the helpless feeling is the same. You’re wondering what you could have done differently, planning what to do next time, and going over an entire speech that you wish you had the strength to say. Isn’t it time you experienced joy and laughter without waiting for the other shoe to drop? It’s okay to be as compassionate toward yourself as you are other people. Fearing abandonment has resulted in you abandoning yourself. Let's change that. My approach is compassionate, practical, and actionable. Reach out, and let’s get started.
