Does This Sound Like You

Some of this may land.

  • You can see the pattern. Seeing it has not changed it.
  • You are drawn to people who are not quite available, and bored by people who are.
  • You either need no one or need too much, and the switch is not under your control.
  • You are the reliable one, and no one asks how you are.
  • Somewhere underneath there is a belief that you are only worth keeping if you are useful.
  • You have done therapy. This was not what it addressed.

The Work

What the Work Looks Like

Down to the belief

Behavior change without belief change does not hold. We find the thing you concluded about yourself early, usually before you had language, and work there.

Parts work

Parts work, for the part of you that wants closeness and the part that has learned it is dangerous. They are both trying to help. We get them talking.

The body's version

Attachment wounds are stored somatically. I am trained in trauma-informed somatic work and use it when talking has gone as far as it goes.

Practicing something different

Including with me. The relationship in the room is one of the instruments, not just the setting.

What Changes

What Changes

The pattern loses its inevitability. You start noticing the pull toward the familiar dynamic while it is happening rather than three months in, and noticing is most of the freedom.

Self-worth tends to move last and matter most. Not confidence exactly, more that the question of whether you are worth it stops being live.
