Interpersonal Difficulties

Getting along with yourself and others:

Personality functioning is complex and often difficult to understand. Our personality structure, socialization, cultural background, and even biological predispositions all intersect when we relate to others. Such complexity can often lead to difficulties getting along and maintaining interpersonal effectiveness. Thankfully, psychotherapy takes place in an interpersonal space where you are free and safe to explore how you relate to others, how well you understand yourself, and what areas of your interpersonal functioning you would like to change. Here are some issues commonly addressed with success in psychotherapy:

• Recurrent conflicts with colleagues.
• Emotional regulation difficulties, particularly in close relationships.
• Impulsive behaviors such as substance abuse, unsafe sex, etc.
• Feeling stuck in unhealthy relationships.
• Feeling frustrated when trying to understand the feelings and motivations of those around you.
• Difficulties understanding your own feelings and motivations.
• Recurrent feelings of unworthiness.
• Patterns of intense, but unstable relationships.
• Self-harm.
