Relationship Anxiety
EP: 125
Have you ever wondered if you're just incapable of maintaining a healthy, committed relationship?
This constant worry has a name, and it's called relationship anxiety.
This is so common, in fact we see it in our clients all the time. It refers to those feelings of worry and security and doubt that can pop up in a relationship, even if everything's going relatively well.
In this episode we cover what is relationship anxiety and how does it manifest in relationships.
We’ll talk about how to recognize if you are sabotaging the relationship out of fear and what to do about it. We walk through working through past hurts and establishing boundaries (we even throw ourselves under the bus a little bit here), working through low self worth and how to empower yourself so you can move into a secure space in your relationships.
