What is relationship anxiety?
Relationship anxiety is characterized by persistent worry, doubt, or fear within relationships. This might show up as needing constant reassurance, fearing abandonment, questioning your partner's feelings, or avoiding closeness to protect yourself from potential hurt. It can affect romantic relationships, friendships, and family dynamics.
Who might benefit from therapy for relationship anxiety?
Anyone who experiences ongoing worry about their relationships may benefit from therapy. This includes people who struggle with trust, fear rejection, find themselves in repeated relationship patterns, or have difficulty feeling secure in their connections with others.
What does therapy for relationship anxiety involve?
Therapy often involves exploring the roots of your relationship fears, understanding attachment patterns, and developing healthier ways of relating to others. Your therapist may help you build communication skills, manage anxious thoughts, and create more secure connections in your life.
Can I work on relationship anxiety in individual therapy?
Yes, individual therapy is often used to address relationship anxiety. Working one-on-one with a therapist allows you to explore your personal patterns, attachment history, and beliefs about relationships in a safe, focused space. Couples therapy is another option if you want to work on dynamics with a partner.
