Discover the Root of Your Relational Problems
There is no doubt that relationships can be uncomfortable at times, bringing up feelings and tension inside us that we don’t experience anywhere else. Part of where the tension in relationships comes from is our erroneous belief that there shouldn’t be any discomfort in a healthy relationship.
Instead of encouraging you to avoid any discomfort or suffering in your relationship, our practice focuses on becoming aware of the root cause of your discomfort, and learning to accept it, rather than labeling it.
Relationships frequently change just as people do — but change doesn’t have to be the end of the road when you’re able to focus on facing the discomfort together, rather than running from each other.
