Get Help
Relationships can bring the brightest of joys and the darkest of despair. We all need help.
Managing Conflict
Conflict can occur when two people want something different. The key to managing conflict is discussing what each other wants and working together to resolving the conflict.
Opening Up
Sometimes it may be hard to share what you are feeling. We invite you to look at what in your history has encouraged you to be more cautious in this area. Is this new situation different than the events that had you be cautious?
Setting Boundaries
One challenge you may face is getting clear what is acceptable and not acceptable in your life. Setting boundaries is a way to share this with others. Keeping your boundaries helps you be you.
Learning to Trust
Trust is about sincerity and competence over time. Do you believe this person is sincere? Do you believe they are competent? What in your personal history is effecting your decision?
