What if I’m making a mistake? What if my partner isn’t the ‘one’? How can I know if I’m with the person I should be with? Do I find them attractive enough, smart enough, good enough? Do we have enough in common? What if we break up? In a world that says “when in doubt, don’t”, I say, let’s slow down. Relationship anxiety can strike at any point in a relationship, and it can often feel confusing, isolating and overwhelming. We’re taught from a very young age that when you know, you know. But that’s not the reality for a lot of people, and when anxiety strikes it can be terrifying to open up about the doubts or concerns you have. Especially when the majority of advice is just to leave, and that’s the last thing you want. I know, because I was in the exact same situation as you, and although the thoughts and feelings were tearing me up, instead of leaving, I turned inward. I’m here to tell you that what you’re experiencing is completely normal - painful and isolating for sure, but normal. And, it’s manageable. With the right support and a willingness to go deep, I can help you to break free from the anxiety, and find a deep well of self trust to move forward in your life, likely with your current partner at your side.
