Psychotherapy for Trauma, Relationships & Identity

When old patterns keep repeating

You may understand yourself well and still find yourself returning to the same emotional or relationship patterns. You may know why you tend to take care of others, keep difficult feelings to yourself, meet high expectations, or adapt to what your family needs—and still find these patterns difficult to change.

These ways of coping often developed for good reasons. In therapy, we can become curious about where they came from, how they continue to shape your emotional life and relationships, and what might become possible when they no longer have to work quite so hard.

有些道理，我们早已明白。

我们可以很了解自己，却仍然发现某些情绪、关系和家庭中的模式一再出现。我们也许知道自己为什么总是照顾别人、压下自己的感受、努力满足期待，或习惯先去适应家人的需要——但明白这些模式从何而来，并不意味着它们就会自然改变。

这些应对方式的形成，往往都有它的原因。在心理治疗中，我们可以一起理解它们从何而来、如何继续影响着当下的情绪与关系，也慢慢探索：当这些熟悉的方式不再是唯一的选择时，是否会有一些新的可能。
