What Does Relationship Therapy Look Like?

A healthy relationship looks different for everyone, and seeking relationship therapy is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step toward growth. The therapists at McDonough will personalize the therapy process to match what you are struggling with and your goals. Some areas of relationships that relationship therapy in McDonough might touch on include:

Discover your attachment style and learn how it can improve your relationship. Attachment styles play a big role in how we relate to others and how we handle conflict. Understanding your attachment style and how it impacts your relationship will help you prevent future conflict and encourage healthier habits.

Having high self-esteem and self-worth is important in our overall mental health as well as helps protect against mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

How to Build a Healthy Relationship with Yourself

Our relationship therapy in McDonough can guide you in developing a strong foundation within yourself, leading to more fulfilling connections with others. We also recommend utilizing coping mechanisms at home to support your journey. Examples of healthy coping mechanisms include:

Check-In With Yourself: Set a time every day, like when you’re brushing your teeth or eating a meal, to check in with how you’re feeling. You don’t have to go in-depth, just notice if you’re feeling sad, happy, scared, or something else.
Practice saying no: A healthy relationship is not one that says yes all the time. Practice saying no to small things that don’t serve you, so you can stand up for yourself when the big things come.
Make time for your hobbies: Engage in the things that make you happy, even if others don’t quite understand it. Explore your sense of creativity and wonder by trying new things on your own. You’ll be surprised how much self-confidence you can build!
Set boundaries: Be clear when you’re setting boundaries with others. Practice with small things, like “When I come home, I need ten minutes to decompress by myself.” Then, work your way up to boundaries that are harder for you to implement.
