HOME / RELATIONSHIPS

relationships

The connections we have with others shape so much of how we see ourselves

and move through the world.

This is a space to explore the joy,

the confusion, the patterns,

the hopes and the hurts.

The things we say.
The things we don't.

Sometimes the hardest conversations

aren't the ones that go badly.

They're the ones we never quite

manage to have.

What have you been trying

to find the words for?

The patterns we repeat.

We don't repeat patterns because we want to.

We repeat them because somewhere along

the way, they helped us survive something

we didn't have the words for.

What patterns do you

recognise in your relationships?

Love, anger and
everything in between.

All of it makes sense.

Even the parts you judge.

What feelings are hardest

to show and why?

Letting go and
holding on.

Sometimes letting go doesn't mean

leaving. Sometimes holding on

doesn't mean staying the same.

What are you holding that feels heavy?

IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO A LITTLE FURTHER

Here are some reflections and ideas to explore when you're ready.

Being needed and being known

When neediness becomes a substitute for connection.

Why do we keep having the same argument?

The patterns underneath conflict.

When love isn't the whole answer

On loving someone and still needing to leave.

The conversations we avoid

What we're protecting when we don't say something.

Missing someone you don't want back

Why longing doesn't always mean return.

Boundaries

What changes when we stop asking permission for our needs.

You can stay with this for as long as you need.
