Chapter 1

People come to me when a relationship starts to weigh on them: with themselves, a partner, a parent or child, a friend, a business partner or a family business. They also come with burnout, guilt, shame, anxiety, control, or the question "how do I respond?" Together we explore what is truly difficult in the present situation and how learned reactions, expectations and past experience shape the way a person feels and acts. We separate today's reality from the old reaction, see the real choices available, and build a strategy for next time. When the same pattern keeps repeating, we make it conscious and rewrite it into a new formula for action. We work towards more clarity and calm, more independent decisions, and relationships in which a person can stay connected without losing themselves.
