Relationship Concerns

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” – Carl Jung

Our first introduction to relationships was in our childhood from our parents, family, and social activities with which we were involved. We learned how to engage with people by what we learned at home. The communication patterns we learned growing up do not always serve us as we mature and develop intimate relationships. When our communication patterns differ from others in our world (e.g., partner, friends, colleagues), we feel frustrated and misunderstood. These feelings can lead to more complications and struggles.

Together, the therapists at MPTS examine your communication patterns, as well as those within your various relationships. By discovering how your interactions and how those of others may be interpreted, we can help move toward greater mutual understanding and value.
